Dexter's 3,500 lb D35 / #10 E-Z Lube axle uses a serviceable hub with separate inner and outer tapered wheel bearings, a grease seal and a removable grease-cap plug. The manufacturer’s numbered hub drawing helps identify the individual pieces without relying on their appearance alone.

Start by matching the axle and hub identification, then compare the part number on the original bearing, seal or cap. The bearing arrangement shown here is for the D35 / #10 hub group; other Dexter axle families can use different bearings and caps even when their rated capacities are similar.

Factory exploded hub and bearing diagram

The Dexter light-duty parts catalog shows the D35 / #10 hub group on printed page 28. The drawing identifies the bearings, cups, grease seal, nut, washer, grease cap and removable rubber plug. Use the callout numbers alongside the table below.

Inner and outer wheel bearings

The L68149 inner bearing cone (031-033-02) runs in the L68111 bearing cup (031-033-01). The smaller L44649 outer bearing cone (031-031-02) runs in an L44610 cup (031-031-01). These are four distinct pieces; a bearing-cone listing does not include the matching cup unless the individual product specifies it.

When servicing a worn or damaged bearing, inspect its cup as well as its rollers. Match the part numbers stamped on the existing components before ordering. Do not substitute a bearing from a different axle group because it has a similar outside diameter.

E-Z Lube seal, grease cap and rubber plug

The 010-019-00 grease seal is the E-Z Lube seal listed for this hub group. It differs from the conventional grease-seal listing in Dexter's hub catalog.

The 021-041-01 grease cap is the E-Z Lube version with a central opening. The 085-001-00 rubber plug closes that opening after greasing. Match the cap to the existing hub and verify the cap style before replacing it.

Spindle hardware and earlier versions

The D35 diagram identifies the 005-023-00 spindle washer, the 006-191-00 special jam nut and the 006-190-00 nut retainer in applicable E-Z Lube spindle arrangements after 2002. Earlier and conventional spindle hardware can differ. Compare the actual spindle assembly before ordering nuts, washers or retainers.

Lubricating and inspecting E-Z Lube hubs

For routine E-Z Lube servicing, Dexter instructs owners to remove the rubber cap plug and connect a manual grease gun to the spindle fitting. Turn the hub while applying grease slowly until fresh grease begins to return from the outer opening, then wipe away excess and replace the plug. Do not use a pneumatic grease gun; excess pressure can force grease past the seal and contaminate brake components.

The E-Z Lube fitting is not a substitute for inspecting the bearings and brakes. Dexter recommends periodic hub removal and bearing inspection, and replacing the grease seal whenever the hub is removed for service. See Dexter’s bearing lubrication instructions for the full procedure and suitable grease types.
