It does not appear that Stemco makes anything for the 3500-7000lb Dexter style trailer axles.
These axles use standard tapered roller bearings, packed with grease.
The problem is the EZ lube axles. An EZ lube axle has a grease fitting in the end of the spindle that leads to a hole behind the inner wheel bearing. You pump it full of grease and it's supposed to push all the dirty grease through the inner bearing, across the hub, through the outer bearing, and on the ground.

In practice, it takes a TON of grease, makes a huge mess, and if your inner seal isn't perfect, causes grease to leak into the brake drum. Yeah, brakes work real good when you pump a bunch of grease in there...
I don't like EZ lube axles. I check my wheels annually for play and repack the bearings every 3000 miles (which amounts to once every 5 years or so).

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
