• 1in D Washer Recommendation for 1 Inch Diameter Spindle
  If the axles of your trailer are rated between 3.5k and 5.2k I would recommend that you use the TruRyde D Washer, part # 5-23, that you referenced. If you have axles that are rated between 6k and 8k I would recommend you use the Redline D Washer, part # 5-57. I attached a link to a video of a trailer hub being removed and reinstalled from a trailer that you might find informative.

• Should There Be a Washer on Trailer Spindle Between Spindle Nut and Outer Bearing
  There really should be a flat washer between the outer bearing of your hub and the nut that holds it on. The washer protects the back side of the bearing from the edges and points on the back side of the spindle nut. The Washer For 1 inch Spindle, # SW1000, is typically used on spindles that have a castle nut, like # 165686, and a cotter pin, # 165649. A D washer, # 5-23, would be used on a spindle that has a flat side and uses the same castle nut and cotter pin setup. A Tongue...

• Replacement Washer for an EZ Lube Trailer Spindle
  EZ lube spindles generally use a tang washer to prevent the castle nut from turning. There are different sizes available depending on what is needed. For example, # 5-101 has an inner diameter of 1 inch. Washer # 5-71 has a different design and a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter. Washer # 5-59 is similar but larger with a 1-3/4 inch inner diameter.

• Can Bearing Kit BK2-100 be Used on Trailer that Had D-Washer on Spindle Nut
  If everything but the tang washer of the bearing kit # BK2-100 matches what you have you could go with it and then just reuse the washer you have now and you'd be fine. As long as you didn't lose yours it would work great. We do have just a D-washer by itself with part # 5-23. Or you could piece together your own kit too with just parts you need. The bearings would be # L44649 and # L68149, and the races would be # L44610 and # L68111. The seal would then be the # RG06-050.

• Is Washer Needed When Installing BT8 Bearing Kit on Trailer Axle
  While the BT8 Bearing Kit part # BK1-100 does not come with a washer you would still need to use a washer like the part # 5-23. If you are having a hard time getting the nut to thread on with the washer installed you'd need make sure the inner bearing is all the way seated on the spindle and doesn't need to be installed further onto it. For more info on this I attached video that covers this as well.

• 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...

• Adding Electric Brakes to 1995 StarCraft Pop-Up Trailer
  You could try pulling the other hub, to see if you can read the bearing on the other side. If your inner bearing is L68149, there's a good chance the outer is a L44649, but you can confirm that by using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 to measure the inside diameter of the bearing. If it's 1.063 inches, you've confirmed it to be an L44649. If that's the case, and your wheel bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2, the # AKHD-545-35-K hub/drum would be a good choice. The self adjusting # AKEBRK-35L-SA...

• Bearing Kit Recommendations for 1989 Load Rite Boat Trailer with Seal 12194TC and Bearing L44649
  I did some research and found that the 12194TC seal you said you have measures 1.250 inside diameter, and 1.979 outside diameter. The seal I recommend is part # 34823. The dimensions listed for this seal are 1.249 inside diameter and 1.983 outside diameter. We don't have a bearing kit with everything you need so your best bet is to go with the bearing numbers # L44649, the seal # 34823, the races part # L44610 for each bearing (if needed) and then for a spindle washer it sounds like you...

• XL Kodiak ProLube 1980 Castle Nut Washer Recommendation
  Do you have an overly large castle nut washer? It seems odd that the washer is too big to fit in the cap of the # XLPROLUBE1980KIT. Since this kit is designed for 3.5k axles the correct replacement washer should be the # 5-23. This washer should be very similar in size to the castle nut.
