Can Spindle Retainer Nut Be Used Instead of Tang Washer on Trailer Axle

Question

Question:

My boat trailer Bear Trailer has an Axis? axle with E-Z Lube system. Can I change from using a spindle tang washer to a Nut Retainer Clip? If so, what other changes/parts would this require? Thanks,

Yes, you can simply use the nut retainer part # 6-191 on your spindle nut instead of the tang washer setup and it would work just fine. The EZ lube fitting would not be an issue at all.

The Goodyear Endurance trailer tires are the only USA made trailer tires out there. We do not carry them in your size or the close trailer tire size of 235/85-16 that would fit your same wheel. If you want a tire and wheel, we have the Kenda…

Yes you are correct. Since the wheel weight capacity of the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel #AM34834 is lower than the tire you would be limited to the wheel capacity as the overall capacity of 3,050 lb…

So on the replacement bleed port #KBPBB with a 1/4 inch -28 screw and 1/8 inch adapter. But I am not sure how you would use it as a tee. Adapter port #K22590A has 1/8" NPT and 3/16" FIF threads and might be a better option depending on the…

We have the Kodiak brake line part #bh-3mfs-15 which is 15 feet long and has the 3/16 inch male fitting on both ends. Then for a fitting adapter we have the part #K22590A which goes from 3/16 inch to 1/8 inch.

Your 2014 F-250 may or may not require an adapter. HydraStar states only the (2007 - 2008) Ford F-250 requires it however, in some late model trucks it can be hit or miss. If the factory brake controller isn't putting out enough voltage then it…

A tang washer like #5-101 or #5-71 has a tab to secure the castle nut on the spindle so that it cannot rotate or back off on the threads. If the tang washer tab (or a cotter pin) is still in place in the notch on the castle nut (as in the linked…

The thread diameter of spindle jam nut #6-191 is 1 inch. If you do need a 3/4 inch then this nut will not work, though it is for EZ lube spindles that have the grease zerk at the end. We do not have a 3/4 inch jam nut. The closest match is a 7/8 inch…

The Nut Retainer #6-190 is commonly used with the Spindle Jam Nut #6-191 on newer Dexter 8,000lb trailer axles. We also have the Spindle Washer #5-101 if that is the type of retainer that your spindle uses.

The Dexter retainer kit K71-622-00 will allow you to convert your 3,500lb axle manufactured after 6/2002 to use the new retainer. While we do not have this kit we do carry all the parts of the kit. You will need 2 of the Nut Retainers #6-190, 2-D…
