  • Recommended 2,000 lbs Idler Hub and Replacement Spindle w/ a 4 on 4 Hub
  • Thanks for the pictures! If your spindle is 3-3/4" with the threads included then the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly item # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-1K will not fit. This would be why you couldn't get the castle nut to thread. It sounds like you have a stub style spindle which we do not have a replacement option for since it's much shorter in length than standard spindles. To avoid anymore hassle of trying to find replacement parts for an obsolete trailer spindle, I recommend replacing...

  • 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...

  • Replacement Spindle and Hub For 3/4 Straight Spindle
  • I recommend updating your axle spindles to the the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU44FR as we do not have hubs that fit a 3/4" spindle. This is the more common 1-1/16" diameter spindle and will allow you to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-440-2-EZ-2K. This hub is a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and with the spindle above will allow you to fill your hubs with Grease # L11465 using a Grease Gun # L30416 through the rubber cap on the grease cap.

  • Is It Actually Easy to Replace Spindle on 2,000 lb Timbren Axle-Less System
  • That's a good question, and it wouldn't be just the spindle itself that gets replaced on the Timbren Axle-Less systems, it would be the whole spindle arm that would need to be replaced if there was any damage. If you take a look at the photo I added of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR2000S01 you can see that the spindle arm is a separate part. So to replace the spindle you would just unbolt the arm and then bolt on the new arm which has the spindle on it. As for a...

  • Which Trailer Spindles Will Take CE Smith Pre-Greased Trailer Hub 13110
  • The Pre-Greased trailer hub # CE13110 fits on BT8 spindles such as # TRU94FR. The hub uses inner and outer bearing L44643 and a grease seal with inner diameter of 1.249 inches and outer diameter of 1.983 inches. This is exactly what you would find on a BT8 spindle. Installing a spindle is a precision job that requires a qualified professional to install/weld onto the trailer. If there is an RV dealer with a service center near you, they could probably do the job.

If you have a torsion style axle it will likely need a Spindle # TRU74FR but would have to verify with existing axle if you cannot find a axle tag.
