Question:

Dexter 3000# hub, 6 lug, 5-1/2, EZ-Lube Picture attached. The area of the spindle that the grease seal rides on has grooves in it. I take it this should be smooth? Can they be replaced without replacing entire spindle?

Expert Reply:

The spindle where your grease seal sits should be smooth as you mentioned. It looks like a bearing probably blew on your hub to cause that type of damage on the spindle. Your only option will be to replace the spindle or the entire axle. If you have a 6,000 pound axle, the spindle we have available is the TruRyde # TRU57FR. This spindle uses the # 25580 inner bearing and # 14125A outer bearing so you will want to make sure this matches up to your current hubs. Just note that the replacement spindle should be welded on by a qualified trailer fabricator.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this spindle that you can also check out.
