So a large drift, preferably a brass or mild steel one, could be made fairly easily from round bar stock. The Dexter rep told me at the rally that Dexter had bearing punches, but when I called to get one, they had never heard of them. It's also good to have a large drift punch, hammer, seal driving tool and even a hub cap driver. Lots of spare seals is also a good idea because they get replaced every time the bearings are greased. I got my set from Oliver and now can get more of the same to carry along. The fact that there are different sizes and different qualities, makes it even more important to have spares on hand when travelling. That, in itself, does not mean poor quality, but thre is no way to tell. I wonder if we can get Timken bearing? All the ones I've seen say China on them. Actual part numbers or spindle diameters are required. There are at least two different sizes for the 3500 lb axles. It's good to have the actual part numbers John and Bob listed because there is no "standard" 3500 lb bearings. Your axles take standard 3500 axle bearings and seals, no need to call Dexter.
