How To Measure a Spindle On a 6x10 Wells Cargo Road Force Trailer For Replacement Hubs and Brakes
Question:
I recently purchased a 6x10 Wells Cargo Road Force trailer. I’m installing brakes on it and I want to change the hub to a 6x 5.5 to run the same size wheels as my truck. I noticed the 10” brake hubs and the 12” hubs run on different size spindles. How do I determine the spindle size for my trailer? Thanks ??

Helpful Expert Reply:
You will need to measure your spindle using a Digital Caliper # PTW80157(see image below). Once you have those measurements I will be able to help you determine the correct hub for your application on your 6x10 Wells Cargo Road Force trailer. You may need to also lift the trailer since your wheels and tires on your truck are most likely a larger diameter than what you have on your trailer. Please also send images along with the measurements for your spindle.
