On your Dexter 7,000 lb axle, the inner bearing, called the cone, is 25520 and the race for that bearing is 25580. The outer bearing is 14125A and the race for that bearing is 14276. These are industry standard numbers, not Dexter's part numbers, so you can find the Timken bearings with these numbers and you will be good to go. Do not replace the bearing without also replacing the bearing race at the same time. I got ours on Amazon about four years ago and they were USA made, but with Timken, their quality is the same anywhere on the globe, so country of origin is not really that important. I also used my brass punch and a hammer to remove the old races and install the new ones. As long as you drive the race fully, you will have no issues. If you are not capable of doing this part, take the drums to a good auto repair shop and have them replace the races.
