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 placed an order for three spindle washers on a monday evening. I paid an extra $20 for 2nd day shipping. 3 days later I had not received the washers and tracking indicated they had just been shipped. I contacted etrailer to find out what happened. I was told that the first day (tuesday) was a handling day, not a shipping day. There was no explanation given for the delay and I was offered a $4.20 partial refund on shipping. I would have driven to etrailers location two states away and bought the parts in person had I known 2nd day shipping would be given no priority and my parts would sit in the warehouse for two days. I lost hundreds of dollars in business do to this delay and was treated as if it was standard for 2nd day to take a week. Having received items from both coasts using first class mail in 2-3 days consistently this was the worst experience I have ever had paying for expedited shipping. Being treated like I was the problem for asking where my order was, was the icing on this awerful cake. 544363
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. 10524
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+++++!!!!! 305749
