That is a very good question. I went to the Dexter axle manual and searched for replacement parts. Your axle tag shows a 5,100# rated axle. But the Dexter manual only shows a 5,200# axle. I'm at a loss on how to answer your question.

Time for some routine maintenance. Can anyone provide proper part numbers for wheel bearings?
The info below was provided to the forum by member colan , a professional certified RV technician. I had the pleasure of meeting Colan at the National Rally last year where he gave a seminar on RV maintenance. I'm very confident you'll find the information accurate and reliable.

That's a great chart, but it doesn't answer Mike's question. According to his axle tag, he has a 5,100# axle which is not listed in Colan's chart.

I do have 5100# axles on my 295RL and the correct bearings are the ones listed for the 5200# axles. I replaced mine at the beginning of spring with these Timken bearings and seals. I called Dexter amd they said this is what to use.

Hmmm....seems I missed that! Why would there be a 5,100 and a 5,200 axle?
Thanks for the clarification, cwalters2112 !
