How to Pick Out Spindle Washer for Trailer Hub

Question:

This kit appears to have everything but a washer? I have a 1969 Apache Eagle which appears to have a flat/uniform 1inch spindle with threading at the distal end. The bearings that came with the trailer say Bower L44634. A washer was not found when I removed the bearings. The weight of the trailer is only about 400 pounds. Should I get a washer? What part number? Thank you!

The correct spindle washer you would need is going to depend on what the spindle calls for. There are various washers we offer for various styles of spindles.

For just a standard 1 inch washer we have the # SW1000. Of if you have an EZ lube style spindle we have the part # 5-101 which is the most popular option.

I attached a link to a page that has all of the washers we have.

The part # DL21792 comes with a cotter pin, but no washer.
