Definitely feel free to send in a photo of the damaged spindle, but photos can only help out so much. The best way to know we're getting you the correct spindle replacement is for you to measure the spots along the spindle where the bearings and seal are seated, as well as note the weight capacity of your trailer axle. Once we know all of this we can filter through our selection and find the best replacement option for you.
For example, the #84 spindle # TRU64FR uses inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649, and a grease seal with a 1.719" inner diameter (see attached for full specs).
