Al, I bought complete back assemblies on Ebay ,they were dexters . It 
was the cheapest way  to go . Bearings I got locally ,first wheel I took 
apart they came out in pieces,so I just did all four regardless of how 
they looked . But I did wash and check  out the old ones , then repacked 
and stored them in the boxes/bags and carry a set with me when I go on 
long trips as cheap insurance in case one goes bad .I only have to carry 
two size sets in the truck and it covers all my trailers .  Ivan
