There really isn't a solution we can provide aside from replacing the spindle since yours is damaged beyond repair. Since you have a 3,500 lb EZ lube axle the correct replacement spindle would be the part # TRU74FR.

I recommend taking it to a shop since installing a spindle does require precision welding.

We would definitely be able to upgrade to a higher capacity Leaf Spring or Silent Ride set up. That being said, we do not carry torsion axles, so we do not have a bolt on upgrade available. The axle #8327820-EB would upgrade you to 5,200 pounds per…

From the numbers you provided it sounds like you need replacement grease seals. In my research, the grease seals I found with the GS-1719DL number have a 1.72 inside diameter and 2.565 outside diameter. The replacement double lip grease seals you…

Hey James, you can go with a 4k axle leaf spring like the part #e22YR in place of what you have now while it has a slightly higher weight capacity it's not enough that it would create a harsh ride quality. This is a 26 inch long spring though so…

Grease Seal #RG06-050 is the replacement part for the Dexter 010-019-00. It is 1.719 inches inner diameter and 2.565 inches outer diameter. It is a fit for 3500 lb axles. This is a confirmed replacement cross-reference.

We have the exact seal you would need. For a pair you would want the part #RG06-050. This is a double lip seal that would work great for you. Double lip seals aren't only for EZ lube spindles. They are just basically a better sealing design than…

Answer 8

Grease seal set #RG06-050 is what you will need. These are double lip seals, just like what you have (the spring indicates that) and the dimensions are all the same including the 1/2 inch width.

You can verify that the 10-19 grease seal included in Bearing Kit #BK2-100 is the correct one for your spindles by taking two measurements. First you want to measure the rear hub bore where the seal is inserted. The seal's outer diameter needs to…

Answer 10

In order to verify the spindle dimensions so that you can pick out the correct hub/drum you have to get exact dimensions. For that you need to use a digital caliper like part #PTW80157. For how old your trailer is this is especially important as the…

Answer 11

Trailer axles are designed to have the bow in them that you described. This allows the axle to flatten out when it is loaded and have the proper camber. If you have axles that are rated for considerably more than what the trailer will ever have…

Answer 12

To replace a spindle, the old one would need to be cut off, and the new one welded into place. This is NOT a job for the do-it-yourselfer. The new spindle must be absolutely square with the axle in order to prevent premature tire wear and wheel…
