Expert Reply:
If the spindle is damaged, it'll need to be replaced. The # CE13511 CE Smith hub is compatible with a 3500 lb axle that uses an L68149 inner/L44649 outer wheel bearing and a 10-19 grease seal.
For a spindle, you'll need a 3500 lb spindle, but the exact spindle needed will depend on your axle tube and how the current spindles are attached. I'll link to our 3500 lb spindles, but installing a trailer spindle is NOT a do-it-yourself job. Because the old spindle needs to be cut off and the new one welded on so it's perfectly square and concentric, you'll need an experienced welder who is familiar with trailer fabrication work.
You might find that it's simply less hassle or expense to replace the axle. We do offer a few of the most common axle sizes, do determine which one is needed, you'll need to measure the hub face to hub face distance and the distance between the centers of the spring seats as shown in the provided diagram.
I've linked to the 3500 lb axles we offer, if you can reply with the hub face and spring center dimensions of your existing axle, I'd be happy to check and see if any of the axles we offer would work for you.
