Today, we're going to show you a replacement tang type spindle washer from True Ride, part number 5-101. This is our tang washer, right here. You can see it's flat. It's got thickness of a 1/32 of an inch and here's our 2 tabs right here, for tangs. What happens is, when you install this, you bend 1 of these tangs up into a slot for your casting nuts, that's what holds your cast nut in place and keeps it from backing off.
It's pretty simple to install, let's go ahead and do it right now. A couple stipulations . Your spindle will have to be a D type spindle, also this is only going to work with a 1 inch spindle. To install it, the flat spot on the spindle, goes where the tangs are, you slide it in place. I'll install the casting nut and we'll go ahead and tighten it down. We'll run our casting nut on until it stops, then you can back it off just a little bit. Then we'll select 1 of the tangs to bend down. We'll use a flatblade screwdriver to bend down the tab over the tangs that fits in the notch, here, on the casting nut.
Get it started, then push down on it and you see, our casting nut is locked into place. It still has movement, like it should, and you're good to go. And that will finish it for the tang type replacement spindle washer from True Ride, part number 5-101.

Exact replacement. Fit perfect on my EZ-Lube spindle to do the critical job of locking bearing nut in place.
EXACTLY what I NEEDED for my trailer! First I went to the local Auto parts store, the first question they asked 'What is the make and model of your car". I should of know better. First question from etrailer... how many do you want! THANKS etrailer you are the best source for my trailer parts. ALSO It was delivered on time!
Please see the attached picture of the broken parts I found when inspecting the wheel bearing on my boat trailer. I was unaware of the tang wheel bearing washer assembly until I visited your website and watched the installation video. I had never seen any other method than the cotter pin assembly to retain the bearing on the axle. I was glad to see the the actual way the washer was manufactured. It didn't seem right that the small tab alone cold retain the bearing. Thank you for the video and the prompt delivery of the needed parts.
I was very pleased with the delivery speed and price from etrailer. In addition to that the new locking washers appeared to be manufactured from thicker material. I believe the thicker material makes a quality and long lasting part. The last observation I want to tell you is the part was not available from local auto parts store where I reside. The part appeared immediately on your website. You get a five star rating.
Order came quickly, the only issue was they packed ring L44610 instead of Bearing L44649. I was able to use my old bearings L44649 as they were still in good shape, so I’m all set. It all works and that was my goal.
I will keep these with my trailer supplies for when I have to pull my hub/drum for brake inspection and reassembly.
I have purchased products from etrailer many times, and as always there fast shipping and products are always at a low price, and very easy to use there web base information.
Monte - 07/23/2020Great product, easy to install, arrived in 1 day! I have a couple trailers, will buy from this company again for sure!
High quality product for a low price!
Great replacement parts for our teardrop trailer.
Needed this for our excavator trailer fire that blew out
Exactly what I ordered. Came in a decent amount of time. I would gladly pay more for bearings, races and seals from USA, Canada, EU, etc from etrailer if and when they can find producers. This is the place to go when you’re not sure precisely what you need. They’ll walk you through it, no sweat.
just what i needed on boat trailer axle
Before ordering these Replacement parts on etrailer for my 2002 boat trailer I made attempt searches on other sites and much to my surprise nobody could match the price or the complete inventory of my needs that etrailer offered. These folks are the real deal
Needed this to replace broken one on motorcycle trailer axle.
Excellent item that's hard to find local. Great prices and service with etrailer.
When repacking the bearings on my trailer, the lock rings were damaged. Unable to find them locally, I checked etrailer and there they were! I submitted my order, which was received in record time, and with the correct item. I do a fair amount of ordering online, and etrailer sets the standard in my opinion. Communication and follow-up from etrailer is excellent. Have recommended etrailer to my friends, and will continue to do so. A+++++!!!!!
Hatch - 10/11/2017An odd, yet necessary, item when doing bearings on a boat trailer (it locks the castle nut in place). I live in an "inland" area and while local bearing providers stocked the bearings, they didn't stock the lock washer. Fortunately etrailer did and they were inexpensive and promptly shipped.
Donald - 07/24/2019Perfect fit. My trailer was borrowed and came back with a replaced hub - while servicing the hubs I noticed that the replaced hub did not have one of these installed. Scary. Ordered one from Etrailer and had it a few days later, shipping was cheaper than running all over town trying to run this part down.
WT H - 02/20/2015The Spindle washer is good quality and the proper size. It took 9 days to arrive via free shipping. That was a bit excessive. -Steve
I have made several purchases from etrailer. All the items have been as described and worked perfectly for my application. All the staff I have had interactions with have been knowledgeable and very professional. Great parts, Great people, Great prices!!!
This boat trailer came with Tie-Down brake components, and I believe they were bought out by Dexter. Trying to find these specific part numbers on-line was virtually impossible. Thanks to bits and pieces I could glean from this website I made a calculated guess for proper replacement components -- including these clips and grease seals. Most of my applications used cotter pins, so this configuration is a little more involved if you suddenly find the old part no longer is functional. Best I can tell everything seems to be working correctly.
Would rather have old fashion cotter-key, but that would eliminate the EZ Lube function. I always worry about the brittleness of the tab washer failing on the road.
I never had a problem with etrailer, the price and quality is great.you justhave to measure your parts correctly and order.the only problem I had was using the promo code for discount
