• What Spindle Does Trailer Hub # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K Fit
  The hubs you have part # AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K need to fit a BTR spindle like the # TRU44FR. Sounds like you have the STUB style of spindle which is shorter like you have found. To pick out an axle I'd need to know the length of your current one from hub face to hub face and from spring seat center to center.

• Choosing Proper Set Angle for Replacement Dexter Torsion Axle.
  To allow for full articulation so you don't have to worry about the tires bottoming out int he wheel wells, I'd recommend going with a 15° down torsion axle. If the original axle was a 0°, this would raise the trailer up a bit. A 'down' axle places the spindle centerline below the frame member, while a 0° would place it even with the frame.

• Troubleshooting Hub and Spindle Not Fitting Together after Replacing Spindle on a Utility Trailer
  It sounds and looks to me like you have the wrong hub assembly for the spindle that is welded to the axle on your trailer. The photos you sent clearly show a 1-1/16 inch spindle similar to the BTR EZ Lube Spindle item # TRU44FR. This is a spindle for a 2,000 pound axle.

In addition, the photo of the hub that you sent looks like a hub for a 3,500 pound axle,...

• Should a Spindle That is Chipping be Replaced
  Anytime that a spindle is starting to take damage you will want to replace it as that will affect the performance of your bearings and seal. In this case since that chipping is right where the seal sits (as you mentioned) that will eat at the rubber seal which will likely cause it to fail. A failed seal will leak grease and cause further damage to your spindle/hub area. From the picture you sent in it looks like you have a round BT8 spindle. For replacements we have parts # TRU94FR, #...

• Is Bearing Buddy Needed On EZ-Lube Hub and Spindle
  When using an EZ-Lube hub, such as hub/drum assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K, on an EZ-Lube spindle it is not necessary to also use Bearing Buddy bearing protectors.
