Looking for axle info for bearing/seal replacement for 2022 T@B 400 BD

subkron

Title kind of says it all.  My camper is at a storage lot and I was going to order replacement bearings and seals as prep for the replacement work.  With the coraplast in place I can't see the axle PN anyway, anyone have either the axle PN (I believe it is a Dexter Torflex but not sure of rating/size) or maybe Timken PNs that would fit?

Stock axle, 2022 T@B400 BD.

Thanks! Ron

Our 2019 400 BD has a 4K 10F Torflex axle by Dexter. I think that the axle was not changed on subsequent years but please confirm.

Here are a couple of attachments for the bearing service. If you give an auto parts store the Dexter number the bearings and rear seal are readily available in my experience.

When I changed out the grease on mine the bearings were the Dexter part number but were Chinese manufactured

Remember that Dexter recommends replacing the bearing races along with the bearings to make sure it all wears in the same. I think they all come as a set. I keep a full set when traveling in case they have to be replaced.

There are lots of threads about bearing maintenance with references to parts, etc.

Thanks gents. I had previously checked the links you provided, and others, and had not come up with the specifics for my axle, hence my posting.  

I was hoping another 2022 400 BD owner would give me specifics. I was kind of betting that the 4k 10F as mentioned was it but really would like to confirm. How to do it not an issue for me, just what parts to use lol.

Anyone else?

When I looked at the Dexter chart again it looks as though it can't be anything other than what you are betting on. Our trailer would not be on a 3k axle and the 4.4k axle has a 6 bolt hub. Ours is 5 bolt. So either the 4k(10F) or the 3.5K (unlikely).

Unless someone believes that other model year 400s had something other than a Dexter axle.



I think the bearings are readily available so what I did the first time was just pull the hub and the bearings and take them to the auto part store with me.

@qhumberd That makes perfect sense, like the boil down logic. 😊
