• Replacement Axle Spindle for Dexter P21-SLR with 76 Inch Spring Seats and 44649 and 68149 Bearings
  I reached out to Dexter and they no longer make that axle. I can confirm based on the bearing sizes you gave that you have a 3,500 lb capacity. If you determine you just want to replace the hub, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3 or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have the grease zerk integrated in the spindle. Since we can't match the spring seat to spring seat dimensions if you want to replace your axle I recommend using...

• Distance From End of TruRyde #84 Spindle Stub to the Back of an Installed Hub
  When installing a hub like the # AKIHUB-545-35-K on the # TRU84FR the hub is going to stop where the grease seal sits. If you look at the attached picture below, you will see the measurement marked F which is 6-1/2". This would be the stub length, which is the same as the distance from the end to the back of the hub. If you are talking about the other end, the distance would be the overall spindle length of 11-1/4" minus F, which would be 4-3/4".

• Options For Replacing Damaged Spindle On Older 14' Cattle Trailer
  Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. Your best option here will be to get new spindles for your trailer, or to replace the axles altogether. A lot of older trailers use spindles that are now obsolete, and it sounds like this is the case with your spindle. If the damaged spindle is replaced, you will want to have all of the spindles replaced. The hub face will not be the same and this could cause poor ride quality and uneven tire wear. The good news is we do have 6 lug hubs that will...

• Replacement Hub, Bearings, Races, and Seals for Trailer Hub with H-1377 Bearing
  First, it does sound like, based on the measurement and information you have provided, that race # L68110, is correct since its outer diameter is 2.327 inches. This race is associated with bearing # L68149 which has an inner diameter of 1.378 inches and fits a number 84 spindle. On these spindles the diameter where the seal goes is 1.73 inches such as # TRU84FR. The seal should be a tight fit. I once had a heck of a time pulling a hub off of a trailer that was held on by the seal only!...

• Mounting Bolt Pattern of 10 Inch Electric Drum Brake Assemblies
  The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35 has a mounting pattern that is typical for 3,500 lb axles. The center on center horizontal measurement of the mounting bolts are 2-7/8 inches and diagonal center on center of 4 inches. You can see this with the mounting flange # 4-35. I can't confirm the fit of the hubs on your trailer without knowing if the spindles on the axles are the standard length or not. The standard spindle length leading...

• What Size of Spindle is Needed for a 3,500-Lb Axle
  I have three spindles that are for a 3,500-lb axle and have the bearing dimensions you have listed. The only difference is the dimension for the grease seal is 1.75 inches, not the 1.795 inches that you have mentioned. Maybe you typed in the seal diameter wrong. The hub number you have mentioned is just a casting number, not a part number. The three spindles I have for a 3,500-lb axle are as follows. #84 Spindle - 1-3/4" Diameter (8-1/4" OAL) # TRU64FR #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange...

• Do I Need to Replace #84 Spindle With Rust On Surface and What Bearing Kit Do I Need
  You should still be able to use your spindle without having to replace anything, especially because this is not in the seating areas for the bearings. Regardless, I recommend cleaning off the spindle with emery cloth to try to remove as much of the rust as possible. You'll want to take care to make sure that there is no pitting on the spindle that might damage the new bearings, which would be the only case that I recommend replacing the spindles. If you do end up needing to replace your...

• How to Grease Trailer Bearings and Spindle without EZ Lube Axle and Spindle
  If you don't have an EZ-Lube spindle on your axle then you'll need to remove the hub, remove and repack the bearings, races and seals manually. Standard trailer bearings should be re-packed and greased every 10,000 to 12,000 miles in normal towing conditions; if you're routinely towing at maximum load or live in an extremely warm and dry area it might be less than that. This will be the only way to properly grease the bearings and spindle to perform this routine maintenance. If you don't...

• How to Determine Which Replacement Hubs Will Fit Spindle
  There are a few different ways to make sure that you are getting the correct hub to match your spindle like the wheel bolt pattern, bearings, and weight capacity. You can either use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to measure the different sections of your spindle (see attached picture), or you can simply remove your current hub and locate the bearing, race, and seal numbers (on same attached picture). Once you know what the measurements or numbers are you can either filter through our selection...

• Replacement Hub for Trailer With Timken 158123 Inner and 09067 Outer Bearing
  I looked through our selection of hubs and hub/drums, and couldn't find anything compatible with the bearings you mentioned. This leaves you with two alternatives. Number one would be to cut off your existing spindles and install spindles like # TRU84FR that would be compatible with a standard hub like # 84545BX. The hub has the same number of lugs and bolt circle as your existing hubs, so you could use the same wheels. Removing the old spindles and welding the new ones into place is best...

• Are #84 Spindles Threaded into the Axle?
  No, they're welded. You assumed correctly. The spindles listed below that I referenced in your previous question all have to be welded on. There are no thread on spindles. #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 2" Diameter item # TRU24FR #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 1-3/4" Diameter item # TRU84FR Square #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/2" Wide item # TRU47FR

• Finding the Correct Spindle Size for Hub
  From what I could find about your hub, you need the #84 spindle like # TRU84FR which is a round spindle. A more accurate way to figure out the needed spindle size is to first find out the measurements of your bearings. You can also measure the spindles on your damaged axle and match them to the inner diameter of the bearings that fit a #84 spindle. The matching bearing kit is Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle # BK2-100. This matches L44649/L68149 Bearings which is what I believe your hub uses,...

• Replacement Hub And Spindle For TieDown 3,500-lb Axles
  I spoke with Dexter Marine of Georgia, who bought the running gear portion of TieDown (axles, actuators, brakes, brake lines, spindles, leaf springs and hubs), and they mentioned that you can use a Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for replacement hubs, and you can use these #84 spindles, depending on the length of the spindle needed: -For a #84 spindle, with 8-1/4" overall length, you can use # TRU64FR. -For a #84 spindle, with 9" overall length,...

• Recommended Replacement Disc Brakes For A 2008 Trail-Rite With UFP DB-42 Brakes
  From the pictures you provided, you have a UFP DB-42 disc brake set up on your 2008 Trail-Rite. This isn't something we carry, but it looks like these systems use the # L68149 inner bearing and the # L44649 bearing, so you do have a common spindle for a 3,500 pound axle. With that said, we do have the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS that looks like it would be a perfect replacement. This is rated for 3,500 pound axles and will use these same bearings, though not included so you will need...

• Welding #84 Spindles # TRU84FR and # TRU57FR for Utility Trailer with 2-3/8 inch O.D. Pipe
  You have a 2-3/8 inch O.D. pipe so you might want to look at #84 Spindle, # TRU84FR, which has a 2 inch O.D. at the weld point and has a 1750 lb. capacity, so two spindles will give that axle 3,500 lb capacity. The #42 Spindle, TRU57FR which has a 2.25 inch O.D. at the weld point and is rated for 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs axles. The total capacities of the spindles are only valid if installed correctly and the axles are not broken or damaged in any way. The TruRyde #84 Spindle, # TRU47FR,...

• Replacement Axle for a 1991 Lowe Boat Trailer
  None of the spindles we carry have the same measurements as what you have. The only real recommendation I could make would be to replace the axle since by the time you buy the spindles, have them professionally installed and get the correct hubs you're almost at the same price as just getting a new axle. In order to recommend an axle assembly for you, I'll need some more information. First, you will need to ensure that the existing wheels and tires you are using are rated for the extra...

• Replacing a Hub on a #84 Spindle
  Being off as little as it is, the hub may just be getting caught on something. Remove the hub from the spindle to make sure there is nothing that could be catching the inner bearing. Next, install just the inner bearing # L68149 making sure it gets all the way to the correct location on the spindle, which should measure 1.378 inches. Once that is in place, slide the hub on making sure it seats completely on the rear bearing and holding it in place. Then slide the outer bearing # L44649...
