Part Number: BK4-287-GD+21-36CAP 10K General Duty Axle Application 4" 21-36 Oil Cap Style
Overview
This R&P Carriages bearing replacement kit is assembled for 2013 and older Dexter 10K General Duty axle applications using the 4" 21-36 oil cap style. It brings together the core wear items commonly addressed during oil-bath hub service: bearing cones, matching races, oil seal, and oil cap with plug and O-ring. Use this kit when servicing a compatible 10K General Duty hub where the bearing numbers, race numbers, seal size, and cap style match the parts being removed.
R&P Service Insight
Heavy trailer hubs should not be serviced by guessing from axle capacity alone. A 10K General Duty hub and a 10K Heavy Duty hub can use different component combinations, so the safest fit check is always the part numbers and measurements from the hub being serviced.
- One-Hub Service: This listing is for one bearing replacement kit with one of each listed component.
- Oil Bath Hub Use: Includes a 4" 21-36 oil cap with plug and O-ring for compatible oil-lubricated hub assemblies.
- Critical Fit Warning: This kit is not for Dexter 10K Heavy Duty axle applications.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for 2013 and older Dexter 10K General Duty axle applications where the hub uses the listed bearing/race combination, 3.88" x 2.875" oil seal, and 4" 21-36 oil cap style.
Vehicle / System Fit: Heavy-duty trailer oil bath hub service on compatible 10K General Duty axle assemblies.
Installation Notes: Confirm bearing cone markings, race markings, seal dimensions, oil cap style, and axle type before ordering or installing. Do not order by axle weight alone.
Performance Insight: Replacing bearings, races, seals, and oil cap components together helps avoid reusing worn mating surfaces or old sealing parts during hub service.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages curated service kit.
Application Reference: Dexter names and part references in this listing describe compatibility, fitment target, or application style only where supported by verified component numbers, dimensions, and configuration details.
What This Means: This listing is for an R&P Carriages bearing replacement kit assembled for compatible Dexter-style applications. It is not being sold as a guaranteed Dexter OEM-branded kit unless specifically stated elsewhere and verified.
Before Ordering: Verify axle series, hub style, oil cap size, bearing numbers, race numbers, seal size, and whether your axle is General Duty or Heavy Duty.
R&P Repair Insight
When a hub is opened for bearing service, inspect more than just the bearing cone. The race surface, seal journal, cap threads, cap plug, and oil condition all help tell the story of the hub. If the wrong cap or seal is installed, the hub can leak even when the bearings are correct.
- General Duty vs. Heavy Duty: Confirm the axle is a 10K General Duty axle. This kit will not fit 10K Heavy Duty applications.
- Cap Verification: Match the removed oil cap to the 4" 21-36 style before ordering.
- Bearing Number Check: Match the bearing and race markings from your hub before installation, especially the 25580/25520 and 387A/382A bearing/race families.
