Replacement Spindle for Stripped Threads on Folding Trailer
Question:
One of the lug spindles on my folding trailer has stripped threads. Can I replace it? If so how? Where can I get it?

Expert Reply:
We do have the replacement spindles available. I've linked the page to assist so you can measure your current spindle to confirm the correct replacement. The welding of a spindle is not an easy job and should be done only by a professional welder with the proper jig equipment to ensure safety.
Your other option is to replace the entire axle. I've also attached the link to that page for all your options. You will want to ensure you have the correct capacity, hub to hub, and spring center to spring center measurements for replacement unless using the axle-less system.
