• How to Remove a Hub from a Ram Line Jet Boat Trailer with Damaged Bearings.
  Unfortunately, it sounds as if when your bearings went out you were towing the trailer and the inside of the bearing that contacts the spindle, bearing cup, got hot and galled itself to the spindle on the trailer. This happens many times when bearings fail and can require replacement of the whole axle in the most extreme cases. I would try to remove the bearing cup by prying with a pry bar or screw driver and lubricating the spindle. If that doesn't work try more aggressive techniques....

• Assembly Order for Bearings, Races, and Seals for Trailer Hub # 34822BX
  The order of assembly is as follows (from the inside out). First, put the inner race in the back side of the hub, followed by the inner bearing, and then the seal. Insert the hub onto the spindle. Then, insert the outer race, followed by the outer bearing, then the washer, nut, and pin. The grease cap goes on last. It looks like you are putting the race in the wrong place. I have included a link to a video that will show you the process. Also, all the parts you have listed are compatible....

• Are Replacement Spindles Available for a 1995 Stratos Boat Trailer
  We do offer replacement spindles but a bit more information is needed to determine which spindle you will need. One way to determine would be to get a few measurements from your spindle. I will need the diameters for the inner and outer bearing seats and the grease seal seat. I recommend using a precise measuring tool such as a dial caliper because these measurements must be exact, to the closest thousandth of an inch. I am attaching a picture that may be of help when measuring. Another...

• How to Determine Hub Face to Hub Face Dimension for Picking out Replacement Trailer Axle
  If you are looking to order a new axle for your 5 foot wide trailer you will need to determine what the hub face to hub face dimension you would need to clear your trailer that is 5 feet (60 inches) wide. You will also need to know the width of your wheels/tires. You will take the figure and divide by half as trailer wheels have a zero offset which means exactly 50 percent of the tire width will be on either side of the hub face. You will want to have a couple inches of clearance between...

• Is a Damaged Spindle Safe to Use If Hub Fits It
  It might seem that the spindle being slightly bent isn't a big deal but it can definitely lead to another blowout so you'll want to replace that spindle with a new one. It looks like you have a straight spindle like the standard BT8 found as part # TRU94FR for a circular end or part # TRU97FR for a square end. A damaged spindle will cause more friction which, in turn, increases the amount of heat produced which can lead to your bearings failing or a tire blowout. So any time a spindle...

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...

• 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, #...

• What Size Axle Does a #84 Spindle Fit
