• What Does a Damaged Trailer Spindle Look Like
  Yes, that spindle does look too beat up to be usable. I attached a link to this page that has all of the spindles we carry. You would need to pick out the one that matches the axle capacity on your trailer. It looks like maybe a 2,200 or 2,000 lb axle possibly like the # TRU59FR.

• Determining if 2,000 lb Axle Needs 1-1/4 inch or 1-3/8 inch BT8 Spindle
  With trailer axle components there isn't typically a way to know what you need before getting into the hub/spindle area. Basically you'll need to remove your old one first and determine if you need the 1-1/4 inch BT8 part # TRU94FR or the 1-3/8 inch # TRU59FR.

• Should a Spindle That is Chipping be Replaced
  Anytime that a spindle is starting to take damage you will want to replace it as that will affect the performance of your bearings and seal. In this case since that chipping is right where the seal sits (as you mentioned) that will eat at the rubber seal which will likely cause it to fail. A failed seal will leak grease and cause further damage to your spindle/hub area. From the picture you sent in it looks like you have a round BT8 spindle. For replacements we have parts # TRU94FR, #...

• Replacement Trailer Spindle that Takes L44643 Bearings
  If both the inner and outer bearings are L44643 then you have a BT8 spindle. You can use # R104BT8, # TRU97FR, or # TRU59FR. All three of these spindles are rated for 1,000 pounds by themselves so they would be on a 2,000 pound axle. I have linked videos for all 3 spindles for you. Please note that installation of a spindle is a precision job that requires someone with experience in welding on spindles. If the spindle is welded on a little off then it can cause tire wear, suspension, and...

  For your replacement spindles, you will want the BT8 Spindle # TRU59FR for a round axle or # TRU97FR for a square axle. This will give you the dimensions you referenced. You will want to have a professional shop do the welding to ensure they are safely attached and won't have any angle that could cause problems with your bearings, hubs, or wheels.

• How to Determine The Correct Replacement Trailer Hubs by Bearing Numbers or Spindle Size
  The best way to determine which replacement hubs you need for your trailer would be to remove one of the hubs and retrieve the bearings. Find the numbers stamped into the bearings and with those we will be able to get you the correct hubs. If you are unable to retrieve the bearing numbers, you can take measurements of the spindle. I have included a link to our spindle main page. At the top of the page is a diagram showing all of the measurements we would need to find the correct hubs...

• Unable to Identify 4 Inch Spring That Fell Off While Repacking Bearings
  The only spring you may come across while repacking the bearings would be from the brake assembly. I would check out the brake assembly and see if it looks like a spring is missing. I have attached two different photos of brake assemblies which are labeled that you may reference to find the springs depending on what you have. There are also numerous photos and videos on the product page if you would like to look at the # AKEBRK-35-SA Electric Trailer Brake Kit.

• Replacement Trailer Idler Hub With Inner Bearing 1.25" and Outer Bearing 0.75" Inner Diameters
  The only hub we carry that will fit your spindle size is the Agricultural Hub # AH15450ECOMP, as most have changed over to the more common BT8 # TRU59FR and BTR # TRU44FR. The agricultural hub is only rated for speeds up to 20mph and uses a 4 on 5" bolt pattern.

Otherwise if you can give me dimesnions...

• How to Find a Replacement Spindle and Hub for a 5x10 SnowBear Utility Trailer with 2000 lb Axle
  We do have spindles and hubs for 2,000 lb axles, but we first want to determine which spindle and hub will work best for you. To do this we will need additional information about your current spindles and hubs to ensure the new spindle and hub match what you currently have. Unfortunately SnowBear does not provide general spindle and hub information for their trailers. The best way to ensure you get the correct spindle and hub is by using the part numbers of your bearings and grease seal....

• How Far Apart Do the Races Need To Be On a BT8 Spindle
  There is not really an exact required distance between the inner and outer race on a spindle as the trailer hub will dictate this distance and there can very well be some variances between different trailer hubs. However, I went out to our warehouse and pulled a trailer hub that is fit for the BT8 Spindle part # TRU59FR and measured the distance between the inner and outer races (inside to inside). I found this to be right at 2-1/16" so your trailer hub will need to be very close to this...

• Solution for Replacement Hub on Old Trailer with 3/4" Spindle Diameter
  For a 3/4" spindle diameter you'll need a hub that uses the # LM11949 bearing but unfortunately we don't carry any that use that bearing so for your application I recommend replacing your axle to something more common so it's easier to find standard parts that require maintenance, like you're seeing with the hubs and bearings. If you can let me know your hub face and spring center measurements (see attached) I can see if we have any standard axles that work as a replacement, otherwise...
