Unusual situation with bearing size
Completed the installation of the new break assy today. However, I have an unusual situation. Three of the outer bearings are LM67048, 5.2K axle. The 4th outer bearing is 15123. Looking at the Dexter bearing manual, bearing 15123 is for 6K axle capacity, 6 bolt Hub, 12” x 2” brake size. Both 5.2K and 6K hubs use the same break assy. The only difference being the outer bearings/races are different. The manual also says this is a “special application”. Does anyone have any input on this?

So far I have found the 15123 has a width of .750" and the LM67048 is .660".
Can not see if this is an issue or not.

I do not think this is common. Somebody at Dexter during the manufacturing process got the bearings mixed up. The ID and OD of the bearing is the same as the rest, an easy mistake but should not have been made. At least they are the right bearings and not too big. How did the bearings look? Any discoloration or wear patterns?
