• Torque Specs for Axle Spindle Nut, Suspension Hanger Bolts, and Lug Nuts for Trailer
  It looks like you might be asking about a few different torque specs so I'll address all of them separately. For a trailer axle spindle nut like part # 165686 you will need to run the spindle nut down until there is no more side-to-side play in the hub and then back it off to the next notch so you can secure the cotter pin, like part # 165649, through the spindle. When it comes to hanger bolts like the Redline # 166081 there isn't a specific torque rating either as you just need to...

• Replacement Seals and Castle Nut for 2000-lb Dexter Axle with EZ-Lube Spindles and 5-Lug Hubs
  The best way to identify replacement grease seals (and bearings and races) is by the original part reference number. The linked photo shows the typical location and appearance of these part numbers. It can be a bit of work to get the parts clean enough to read the part numbers, but this is the preferred method. The alternative is to take precise measurements (of the seal itself or the spindle) using a digital caliper. You can then use the seal's part number or its inner and outer dimensions...

• Why Does One Brake Assembly Drag more than the Other After Brake Install
  If you installed self-adjusting brake assemblies then you would be fine as the brake tension will adjust itself. If you installed manual adjusting brake assemblies you would need properly adjust the brakes to get the correct amount of drag on all hubs. To see how to set the proper drag on trailer brakes check out the video I attached. Fast forward to the 4:30 mark. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot on the bottom of the brake backing plate. With a screwdriver...

• How Tight Does the Castle Nut on a Trailer Spindle Need To Be
  According to our installers you will tighten the trailer spindle nut until it stops by itself. In other words do not torque it down as hard as you can. It just has to be tight. A little play is to be expected. You do not want to torque it down too tight, because that makes the bearings too tight and then that generates heat and your bearings come apart. You might want to try tightening it a few times to get a feel for where it seems like the spindle nut naturally stops. Once it is...

• What Size Socket Works with 1 Inch Spindle Castle Nut # 165686?

• Replacement Hubs and Wheels for Nuway Utility Trailer
  Sorry to hear about your bad experience but we can help you. New hubs must use the same bearings as the ones that were stolen to ensure they will fit on your spindles. New wheels must also use the same bolt pattern to ensure they will fit on the hubs. Since you don't have your hubs you can measure your spindles using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to determine what bearings will fit. If you refer to the linked image you will see the points on the spindle that you need to measure...

• How To Secure A Hub Assembly To A Spindle On A 3,500 Lb. Axle
  The majority of most axles use either a retaining nut or cotter pin with a "D" washer and castle nut to secure the hub onto the spindle. I am not sure what you are referring to as most common axle types do not use a lock washer to secure the hub assembly to the spindle, however I have included all the parts you will need to do so. For the retaining nut you will need the Replacement Nut Retainer part # 6-190. If you need the "D" washer and castle nut you will want the "D" Washer part...

• Torque Rating for Spindle Castle Nut
  When installing the castle nut on the end of the spindle, there is no specific torque rating. The nut is ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the tang washer or cotter pin can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided, and fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see the procedure.

• Where Does Flat Washer Go
  I was unable to find an order number so I'm not certain exactly what you are referring to, but in general a flat washer such as Washer For 1" Spindle # SW1000 will go between the outer bearing of your hub and the nut that holds it on, which essentially works to protect the bearing. These washers are used on spindles with a spindle nut such as Spindle Nut 1" # 165686 and Cotter Pin # 165649.

• How to Determine if Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35D Will fit Trailer
  Sounds like the Kodiak kit part # K2HR35D that you referenced is correct for your 2004 Warrior 193V but here's how to measure to verify this. Use a digital caliper like the # PTW80157 to measure where the seal and bearings ride on the spindle. The diameters should be 1.06 inch, 1.38 inch, and 1.73 inch which is what the # K2HR35D requires. Then for a spindle nut the part # 165686 would be what you'd need.

• Castle Nut Wont Thread All the Way on 2,000 lb EZ Lube Spindle with Tang and D Washer
  Thank you for all the photos! My contact at Dexter Axle confirmed that on a 2,000 lb axle, the D-washer # 5-23 is not needed. It is only required on 3,500 lb axles and above. So, in your case it's perfectly safe to leave it off and this way allowing the castle nut # 165686 to fully thread on the spindle. When tightening the spindle nut it should be tightened to the point that you can feel resistance in the bearings, then backed off to the point where you can bend the tang properly which...
