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.

I purchased 2 galvanized wheels and 2 galvanized hubs. The box they shipped the items in was sealed well with staples and was robust, but the items weren't separate well at all. Whomever packaged the order placed a few pieces of packing paper inside. All the items were tossed around and dinged up. The threaded wheel lugs on the hub were dented and needed to be filed and thread chased. Other than that, the products seem nice, but time will tell.
Easy replacement. Tabs broke on the old washer while removing to perform brake job. Washers were packaged individually and shipped in the box with the 4 brake assemblies I ordered. No damage to any componenets during shipping and parts were a direct replacement.
helped me find what I needed and shipped it faster than I ever expected. I will do business here again.
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.
Excellent service. Rod, the service representative was extremely helplful locating "tang" washers that you do not ordinarily stock but were needed for my wheel bearings to complete this job. Thanks Rod.
Easy to install and trailer hub fit wel l.

Work well once I file the edges on the locking tang on our 2007 Dutchman Colorado.
Excellent item that's hard to find local. Great prices and service with etrailer.
The Spindle washer is good quality and the proper size. It took 9 days to arrive via free shipping. That was a bit excessive. -Steve
Hi I’m happy with the product not happy with the packing you guys just through the hubs in the box no packing to stop them bouncing around The metal covers they go on the outside of the hub or bent so I’m over here trying to bend them back to get them on the hub
Always need spares, good to have one in the garage and in the truck

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
An 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.
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+++++!!!!!
These tanged washer were replacements for my camper trailer hubs. I wanted to place new tang washers on my spindles because the old ones had be removed and reinstalled several times. Didn't want to take a chance of tab breaking off on the road.
There ok. I would build them a bit heav ier.
