The TruRyde Spindle Nut # 165686 has an outer measurement of 1.45 inches. You will use a 1-1/2 inch socket on this castle nut or we usually use a channel lock for these installations. I've attached a video of an installation of a hub to assist. You don't want to torque these down tight as you do want to have slight movement and the cotter pin will keep it in place.

Yes, there should be a washer of some type between the spindle nut and the bearing on your trailer. The washer protects the back side of the bearing from the edges and points on the back side of the spindle nut. There are several types of spindle…

Yes. The hub group associated with the Dexter D35 axles use 10-19 seals. Set #RG06-050 includes two 10-19 seals. I have linked a video review of these seals for you.
