• Changing Agricultural Spindles Or Axle For New Hub Assembly

• What is the Weight Capacity of a Trailer Axle with # L44643 Inner and Outer Trailer Bearings
  If both the inner and outer bearing are # L44643 bearings, that means it can fit on a BT8 spindle. One BT8 spindle, like # TRU94FR, has a capacity of 1,000 pounds. So on a single axle with 2 spindles, it would have a 2,000 pound capacity. The axle and/or trailer capacity should be on a sticker or plate on the trailer tongue.

• What Size Axle Does a #84 Spindle Fit
  A true 1 inch spindle is a BT8 spindle, like # TRU94FR. The next closest one would be the BTR spindle which is commonly referred to as a 1-1/16 inch spindle, like # TRU44FR and is more common than the BT8. Both of these are typically used with 2,000 lb axles. A #84 spindle, like # TRU24FR or # TRU47FR is bigger and is used for 3,500 lb axles.

• Replacement Trailer Spindle that Takes L44643 Bearings
  If both the inner and outer bearings are L44643 then you have a BT8 spindle. You can use # R104BT8, # TRU97FR, or # TRU59FR.

• Assembly Order for Bearings, Races, and Seals for Trailer Hub # 34822BX

• 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...

• Will Hub Fit Boat Trailer with 1.5 Inch Square Axle with 1 Inch Spindle

• Replacement Hub Assembly For Utility Trailer
  We do have the parts you need for your trailer. I recommend the trailer hub assembly, part # 8-91-05UC1. This is a hub assembly that comes with bearings, races, seals, and the grease cap.

These are 4 on 4 hubs and include the bolts on the hub and also include the lug nuts. You will need to order part # RG06-010...

• 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...

• How to Remove a Hub from a Ram Line Jet Boat Trailer with Damaged Bearings.
  Unfortunately, it sounds as if when your bearings went out you were towing the trailer and the inside of the bearing that contacts the spindle, bearing cup, got hot and galled itself to the spindle on the trailer. This happens many times when bearings fail and can require replacement of the whole axle in the most extreme cases. I would try to remove the bearing cup by prying with a pry bar or screw driver and lubricating the spindle. If that doesn't work try more aggressive techniques....
