This R&P Carriages BK-944-GD bearing kit is assembled for compatible Dexter-style 10,000 lb General Duty oil bath axle hubs used with 12-1/4" x 3-3/8" brake drum applications. It is commonly referenced for pre-2009 10K GD hub and hub/drum assemblies including 8-214, 8-288, 8-339, and 8-415, and for applications associated with 9-44 drum references. Use this kit when replacing the bearing cones, races, oil seal, and oil cap components on a matching 10K General Duty oil-bath hub.
R&P Service Insight
On 10K trailer axles, the words “10K” alone are not enough to identify the correct hub service parts. General Duty and Heavy Duty axle families can use different bearing and seal combinations, so the safest fit check is always the part numbers and measurements from the hub being serviced.
- One-Hub Service: This kit services one compatible hub position with one of each listed service component.
- Oil Bath Application: Intended for compatible oil-lubricated hubs using the old-style 21-36 oil cap arrangement.
- Fitment Control: Confirm the 25580 / 25520 and 387A / 382A bearing and race families before installation.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for compatible pre-2009 Dexter 10K General Duty oil bath axle applications where the existing hub uses the listed 25580 outer bearing, 25520 outer race, 387A inner bearing, 382A inner race, 3.880" x 2.875" oil seal, and 21-36 oil cap style.
Vehicle / System Fit: Heavy trailer oil bath hub service for 10K General Duty axle assemblies with matching hub, drum, bearing, race, seal, and cap references.
Installation Notes: Compare the bearing cone markings, race markings, oil seal dimensions, oil cap style, and hub/drum reference numbers before ordering or installing. Do not order by axle capacity alone.
Performance Insight: Replacing bearings, races, the oil seal, and cap components together helps reduce the chance of reusing worn sealing parts or damaged bearing contact surfaces during hub service.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages curated service kit.
Application Reference: Dexter names, hub numbers, drum numbers, and component references in this listing describe compatibility, fitment target, or application style only where supported by matching component numbers, dimensions, and configuration details.
What This Means: This listing is for an R&P Carriages BK-944-GD bearing replacement kit assembled for compatible Dexter-style 10K General Duty applications. It is not being sold as a guaranteed Dexter OEM-branded kit unless specifically stated and verified.
Before Ordering: Verify axle series, hub style, drum reference, oil cap size, bearing numbers, race numbers, seal dimensions, and whether the axle is General Duty or Heavy Duty.
R&P Repair Insight
Oil bath hub service should include a close inspection of the seal journal, cap sealing surface, bearing race seats, and oil condition. A correct bearing set can still leak or fail early if the wrong seal or cap style is installed, or if a worn race is reused with a new bearing cone.
- Hub Number Check: Match your hub or hub/drum assembly to the listed application references, including 8-214, 8-288, 8-339, or 8-415 where applicable.
- Drum Reference Check: Commonly paired with 9-44 / 12-1/4" x 3-3/8" brake drum applications; verify the drum reference before ordering.
- General Duty Warning: Use only on compatible 10K General Duty applications. Do not assume fitment on 10K Heavy Duty axles.
