• Availability of Trailer Hub to Fit Older Short Spindle on Boat Trailer
  If you have an older trailer with the short spindles then unfortunately we don't have any hubs that will fit. I've gone out to our warehouse and measured a handful of hubs in the past but none of them have a shorter length/height. The only option to use current hubs is to either cut off your spindle and replace it with something like part # TRU94FR so that the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13110 can be used, or purchase new axles entirely.

• Replacement Spindle for Procraft Trailer
  I was unable to reference a spindle with the number BT151; the best I could find in reference to BT151 is a hub kit for an E-Z Loader trailer, though it did not mention the specific bearings it used which would help identify which spindle you need. Knowing your axle capacity will also help narrow down your choices, or you can measure your spindle with a digital caliper such as # 301-17068 where the bearings and grease seal ride and use that information to compare it to the chart on the...

• 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,...
