• Is There a Replacement Spindle For a Dexter D44, 4400LB Trailer Axle?
  My recommendation is to replace your axle with a 5,200lb like # e55SR as the 4,400lb spindle is so uncommon they are not readily available. This will give you stronger components to lessen the chance of you having to replace a spindle in the future. If you can provide me with the dimensions for your axle I can verify the correct replacement for your D44 axle. The #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR while similar has a narrower diameter of 1-1/16" for the outer bearing where a 4,400lb uses...

• Troubleshooting EZ Lube Initial Grease Leaking Out Rear Grease Seal
  If you have grease coming out the rear seal, you have a bad seal or the incorrect size seal size. The EZ lube spindles will allow you to see grease out the front with the rear seal intact if your seals are working properly as you stated. I've attached a video of the installation of the EZ lube hub # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K to help.

• How to Find Replacement for TDE 11029C Hub Assembly
  I wasn't able to find anything in regard to a replacement part for your TDE 11029C hub assembly, but if you can pull your hub and either look for bearing/grease seal parts numbers or measure the different locations on your spindle then I can see if something matches. To measure your spindle, you'll want to use a digital caliper and measure the locations in the attached photo to the 3rd decimal (1.234 for example). If you can let me know what you find I can help you to choose a replacement...

• Replacing Damaged Axles and Spindles on a Yacht Club Trailer
  In order to determine which replacement axles you need, I will need a few measurements. I will need hub face to hub face measurement, spring center to center dimension, inner and outer wheel bearing reference number, and the axle capacity. Take a look at the diagram I included. Regarding replacement spindles, you will want to use a dial caliper to measure the dimensions of your spindle for me to recommend a new one. The spindle measurements are labeled A through F, please view the diagram...

• Will the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axle Work on My 2020 Safari?
  Hello Howard, I wasn’t able to find anything published online for the part number ESS-AL3500-MAN, so it looks like that’s likely an internal Safari Condo number. That said, as long as your axle is running the following bearing and seal sizes, the TruRyde #84 E-Z Lube spindle # TRU74FR will work: -Bearings: Inner bearing: L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) Outer bearing: L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) -Grease seal: 58846 Inner diameter: 1.719" Outer diameter: 2.565" If your current hub...

• Looking For New Spindle For 2010 Forest River R-Pod 177 With Lippert 3,500 lb Axle
  Hey Al, congrats on the new camper! The Lippert 3,500 lb axles use a standard spindle size. We do offer a replacement for this. Take a look at the following: - #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axle - 1-3/4" Diameter # TRU74FR Replacing a spindle can be tricky. It must be welded to an extremely precise angle and this can typically only be done by a shop that specifically works on and welds trailer axles. It is not something that can be done by a typical DIYer....

• Can I Change a 5 on 4-1/2 Drum With A 5 on 5 Drum For A Trailer With 3,500 lb Axles
  As long as the drums have the same weight capacity as the axles that you are putting them on then there should be no problems there. If you don't already have the 5 on 5 drums that you are asking about, I recommend using the E-Z Lube Hub and Drum Assembly # 84556UC3-EZ. It has the E-Z lube cap on the end of the drum so if you have E-Z-lube axles it makes greasing your axles easier. It also works great with axles that do not have the E-Z lube option. Since you are taking the 5 on 4-1/2...

• Hub for E-Z Lube Spindle on Boat Trailer
  In order to determine if hub assembly 8-258-50UC1-EZ will work for you, first know that this assembly is for EZ Lube spindles that require a grease seal with a 1-1/2" inner diameter such as # RG06-020. You are also going to want to remove the hub and take a look at the bearing numbers to make sure your inner and outer bearings are # L44649. Normally that would be enough, but since you sanded the spindle, I also recommend you use a digital caliper such as # PTW80157 and measure the spindle...

• How to Determine Hub and Spindle Size
  The spindle dimensions are as follows: A is the mounting dimension, B is the seal dimension, C is the inner bearing surface, D is the outer bearing surface and E is the diameter of the threaded portion of the spindle for spindle nut selection. Say you need a spindle and hub for a wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and an axle that is 3500 lbs. For a single axle trailer you can use two of either the item # TRU64FR, if your axle is round or item # TRU47FR if your axle is square. Then...

• Axle Kit for Fabricated Ice House Trailer
  All of our trailer spindles are shown on the linked page, but none of these has a stub end to fit 2 x 3-inch tubing. All are either round like # TRU74FR or square like # TRU47FR.

Bearings, races and seals are included with hub. All Timbren axle-less kits and beam axle...

• 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...

  For the Kodiak Disc Brake Assembly - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs # K1HR35D, you need a Dexter #84 Spindle like the #84 Spindle for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 2" Diameter # TRU24FR or the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axle - 1-3/4" Diameter # TRU74FR.

• New Brakes And Hubs For A Trailer That Uses Timken M12649 And LM12749 Bearings
  Hello Ron, thanks for reaching out. After looking at your pictures and looking over the info you provided, I do have a solution for you, but I do have to recommend that you replace the brakes, hubs and drums. You will likely need to replace the spindles also, if not the entire axle. The Timken M12649 and LM12749 bearings are not used in trailer manufacturing anymore, and while bearing replacements may be available elsewhere, we unfortunately do not carry them here. The same will go for...

• Can Electric Brakes Be Installed On One of The 3,500-Lb Axles of a Tandem Axle Utility Trailer
  I would first check with the laws in your state as far as how many brakes are required for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your tandem axle trailer. Some states require brakes on both axles of a tandem axle trailer. If brakes are allowed on one axle I would recommend to put them on the front axle since that is the axle that will be bearing the most weight of the trailer. Also, when stopping the trailer, the weight of the trailer will be shifting to the front axle more than the...

• Can The Hubs On a M1102 Light Tactical Trailer Be Converted To a 5 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern?
  Due to the weight capacity of the axle on your M1102 Light Tactical Trailer the only bolt patterns that will fit your spindle are a 6 on 5-1/2" or 8 on 6-1/2". You would have to replace your Spindle # TRU74FR on each side of your axle which would then require you to get new Brakes # AKFBBRK-35 and then 2 Hub/Drums # AKHD-555-35-K to have the 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Do understand this will lower the capacity of your trailer so if that is a problem you are going to have to stick with the...

• Dimensions Of Cotter Pin 165649 For EZ-Lube Axle
  Hello Andrew. I had a cotter pin for an ez-lube spindle part # 165649 laying here on my desk so I grabbed a micrometer to measure. With both halves of the pin pressed together is measures 0.11". Each half of the pin is like 0.05". I edited a picture to help illustrate. When you grease the spindle you are forcing grease around the pin. What you can do is remove the pin and back the castle nut off to cover the hole, or you can even plug it by hand when you add grease. I have heard of people...
