Review of TruRyde Washer For 1 Inch Spindle - SW1000 Video

You shouldn't really have any play with the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. If you are getting play in it then the bearings most likely are either not set correctly or were the incorrect choice for your…

For a 1 inch spindle on a boat trailer, I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized #AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K or the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized #AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K. These…

There isn't a way to install zerk fittings on your spindle to make it an EZ lube spindle, but we do have Bearing Buddies which are designed for spindles like yours that do not have the zerk fittings to make installing grease in them easier.…

To order an axle, you will want to know a bit more information. First, you will want to know the hub face measurement. This is considered the length of an axle. The hub face is measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud…

The only difference between the #AKHD-655-6-K and the #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is the cap that the hub uses. One is a solid cap and the other has a rubber plug that can come off for access to EZ lube fittings. Since you have caps already you could use…

Overpacking the trailer hub with grease is the number one reason for grease seal failure. For a boat trailer I would recommend re-packing the hubs by hand with grease once per season and you'd be fine. I don't like recommending people use…

The Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly you referenced, part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K is known as an idler hub. An idler is a hub that is no provisions for trailer brakes. It has no brake drum. Part #8-276-5 is an example of a hub/ drum that has a brake drum that…

Given the information you've provided the best option is going to be the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,200-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized #8-258-50UC1. This hub is going to come with the inner bearing #L44649 and race, outer bearing…

You will have to replace the spindle. Grooves that can't be taken out with emory cloth will eventually cause new bearings to fail which will leave you stranded with a locked up wheel most likely. To replace a spindle, the old one would need to be…

It might seem that the spindle being slightly bent isn't a big deal but it can definitely lead to another blowout so you'll want to replace that spindle with a new one. It looks like you have a straight spindle like the standard BT8 found as…

The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly part #CE13109 does not come with a spindle nut or washer so if you needed that as well you'd need the #RG05-100 which is a it for both sides of the axle that includes washers and nuts.

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…
