Question:

This kit appears to have everything but a washer? I have a 1969 Apache Eagle which appears to have a flat/uniform 1inch spindle with threading at the distal end. The bearings that came with the trailer say Bower L44634. A washer was not found when I removed the bearings. The weight of the trailer is only about 400 pounds. Should I get a washer? What part number? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

The correct spindle washer you would need is going to depend on what the spindle calls for. There are various washers we offer for various styles of spindles.

For just a standard 1 inch washer we have the # SW1000. Of if you have an EZ lube style spindle we have the part # 5-101 which is the most popular option.

I attached a link to a page that has all of the washers we have.

The part # DL21792 comes with a cotter pin, but no washer.
