Thats a good deal for someone who has the setup already. Just remember the NevRLube bearings will NOT fit on the standard bearing 7k axles.

Are you sure? I had 7,000lb axles with those bearings. Hard to believe they made different axles to accommodate the two bearings. I might be wrong, but I do know i had them on my trailer.

Pretty sure, maybe 99%--the spindles have to be machined to fit the NevRLubes. It is my understanding you can't just replace one type with the other. I certainly don't recall any posts from someone who did the exchange without the axles.
Somewhere in the past posts on this or the Suites Owners forums, is a pic of the spindles side by side, definitely a difference.
Certainly, if anyone is thinking to do this, I would call Dexter and confirm one way or the other.

METZCOOL,
You had the NevRLubes on the Kodiak hubs, also, right?

These are the 50 mm hubs so you would need that size spindle. They came off of the morryde independent suspension and the new hubs from kodiak slid right back on. Your axle spindles need to be 50mm from Morryde, Dexter, or Kodiak according to Kodiak rep I talked with.

Yes, the new Kodiak hubs came with new Neverlubes pressed in.

Were they the ez lubes and not the neverlubes? Reason being is kodiak ask me to make sure as the neverlubes came in one size and the ez lubes came in different sizes.

No I had never lube bearings with my 7,000 axles. I would jack the trailer up every year, lube the shackles and feel the wheels for any free play. Had the wheels pulled every other year to inspect brakes and clean things up. Never had an issue with the bearings but did have issues with the clips that held the brake shoes in place. They would snap off and I had to replace those.

Boy....! I sure could use those.
Unfortunately we're not very close.
It would be pretty expensive and a bear to ship.
Ohh well....somebody close that needs those will be pretty darn happy.
