Kit that Includes Spindle Nut, D-Washer and Retaining Nut for EZ Lube Spindle

Question

Question:

Your AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K seems a perfect replacement. But I also need the spindle not castellated nut, the nut keeper and a D washer. Nut keeper because the spindle is not cross drilled for pin. I have opened the good side to inspect. When my outer failed, the nut keeper welded itself to the spindle nut. Do you carry these?

Answer 5

Since you have a 3,500 lb axle most likely the diameter of the threaded portion of the spindle is 1 inch. You will need to verify that. And since the spindle has a hole in it for a cotter pin you would need a castle nut. For that I would recommend…

The difference between the standard and EZ hubs is in the grease cap. For instance, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the same hub, bearings, seal, and races as found in #AKHD-545-35-K but the grease cap…
