Can Bearing Kit BK2-100 be Used on Trailer that Had D-Washer on Spindle Nut

Question

Question:

This kit seems to be an exact match to what I took off my boat trailer except the washer, mine is is a traditional flat washer with one flat side that matches the spindle. Is there any benefit to the tang washer and/or when using bearing buddies which I use? Or is it better to just re use the original washer?

If everything but the tang washer of the bearing kit # BK2-100 matches what you have you could go with it and then just reuse the washer you have now and you'd be fine. As long as you didn't lose yours it would work great.

We do have just a D-washer by itself with part # 5-23. Or you could piece together your own kit too with just parts you need. The bearings would be # L44649 and # L68149, and the races would be # L44610 and # L68111. The seal would then be the # RG06-050.
