Does Tang Washer Go Between Spindle Nut and Hub Washer

Question

Question:

My EZ Lube type axle had the tang washer under the spacer washer, that is, it was pushed on first, then the spacer was, so the spacer sits against the inside of the castle nut. Your video shows it on top of the spacer, closest to the nut. Which is correct? I suppose if the spacer is stronger, then maybe having it against the nut will reduce wear?

You'd want the tang washer like the # 5-101 that you referenced between the washer and the nut.

Since the D60 Dexter Axle uses a cotter pin and castle nut the #RG05-100 would not be the correct kit for you. For that I would recommend the Trailer Spindle Nut #165686. For a compatible cotter pin I would recommend the Cotter Pin part #165649.…
