• How to Determine The Correct Replacement Trailer Hubs by Bearing Numbers or Spindle Size
  The best way to determine which replacement hubs you need for your trailer would be to remove one of the hubs and retrieve the bearings. Find the numbers stamped into the bearings and with those we will be able to get you the correct hubs. If you are unable to retrieve the bearing numbers, you can take measurements of the spindle. I have included a link to our spindle main page. At the top of the page is a diagram showing all of the measurements we would need to find the correct hubs...

• Is a Damaged Spindle Safe to Use If Hub Fits It
  It might seem that the spindle being slightly bent isn't a big deal but it can definitely lead to another blowout so you'll want to replace that spindle with a new one. It looks like you have a straight spindle like the standard BT8 found as part # TRU94FR for a circular end or part # TRU97FR for a square end. A damaged spindle will cause more friction which, in turn, increases the amount of heat produced which can lead to your bearings failing or a tire blowout. So any time a spindle...

• Availability of Trailer Hub to Fit Older Short Spindle on Boat Trailer
  If you have an older trailer with the short spindles then unfortunately we don't have any hubs that will fit. I've gone out to our warehouse and measured a handful of hubs in the past but none of them have a shorter length/height. The only option to use current hubs is to either cut off your spindle and replace it with something like part # TRU94FR so that the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13110 can be used, or purchase new axles entirely.

• Recommended Trailer Hubs and Spindles
  For your 4 bolt idler hub, I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 # AKIHUB-440-2-1K which comes with 1 inch inner diameter bearings # L44643. We don't have anything that is a fit for the shorter spindle. These are all fits for the standard 4.7 inch spindle so you may want to consider replacing your spindles with the TruRyde Spindle # TRU94FR. I've attached a photo with the dimensions to assist.

• What Replacement Spindle Do I Need for a Dexter 69-46 Spindle?
  As far as removing your current spindle, you will need to grind/drill off the old one. One the old spindle is removed, I recommend the BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU59FR (for a 1-3/8 diameter) or the # TRU94FR (for 1-1/4 diameter). The measurement of the diameter is the stub (innermost tube on the spindle). In order to get the correct size, I recommend measuring the stub of your old spindle once it is removed. I went ahead and attached videos of both of these spindles in order...

• Spindle Recommendation for a Small ATV Trailer with Tires that are 18.5/8.5
  You are correct a 1-5/8 inch diameter is not a standard spindle size, however I think I can get you something that might work. Since you supplied the tire size, I was able to track down a tire capacity of approximately 950 pounds. For a single axle trailer with this size tires you would be looking at a capacity under 1900 pounds. So you would use two spindles rated at 1,000 pounds each like the the # TRU94FR, which would work for an axle rating up to 2,000 pounds. This spindle has an...

• Assembly Order for Bearings, Races, and Seals for Trailer Hub # 34822BX
  The order of assembly is as follows (from the inside out). First, put the inner race in the back side of the hub, followed by the inner bearing, and then the seal. Insert the hub onto the spindle. Then, insert the outer race, followed by the outer bearing, then the washer, nut, and pin. The grease cap goes on last. It looks like you are putting the race in the wrong place. I have included a link to a video that will show you the process. Also, all the parts you have listed are compatible....

• Which 5 Bolt Hub Assembly is Recommended for Use with the Redline Spindle # TRU94FR
  On the TruRyde Spindle, part # TRU94FR, the hub assembly you would need is an idler hub assembly. An idler hub assembly does not have an integrated brake drum.

This is a idler hub assembly with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that will work on 2000lb axles. It will only work with 8 inch to 10 inch wheels. If you need an idler...

• Can I Change a 5 on 4-1/2 Drum With A 5 on 5 Drum For A Trailer With 3,500 lb Axles
  As long as the drums have the same weight capacity as the axles that you are putting them on then there should be no problems there. If you don't already have the 5 on 5 drums that you are asking about, I recommend using the E-Z Lube Hub and Drum Assembly # 84556UC3-EZ. It has the E-Z lube cap on the end of the drum so if you have E-Z-lube axles it makes greasing your axles easier. It also works great with axles that do not have the E-Z lube option. Since you are taking the 5 on 4-1/2...

• Are Replacement Spindles Available for a 1995 Stratos Boat Trailer
  We do offer replacement spindles but a bit more information is needed to determine which spindle you will need. One way to determine would be to get a few measurements from your spindle. I will need the diameters for the inner and outer bearing seats and the grease seal seat. I recommend using a precise measuring tool such as a dial caliper because these measurements must be exact, to the closest thousandth of an inch. I am attaching a picture that may be of help when measuring. Another...

• Replacement Spindle for Procraft Trailer
  I was unable to reference a spindle with the number BT151; the best I could find in reference to BT151 is a hub kit for an E-Z Loader trailer, though it did not mention the specific bearings it used which would help identify which spindle you need. Knowing your axle capacity will also help narrow down your choices, or you can measure your spindle with a digital caliper where the bearings and grease seal ride and use that information to compare it to the chart on the Trailer Spindles page...
