There typically aren't any part numbers stamped onto the trailer spindle that can be used for identification. There are however numbers stamped onto the hub most times which can be used for identification. The TDE46210 tells me you have a 3,500 lb axle so you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for galvanized or part # AKIHUB-545-35-K for standard.

Hey Eddie, thanks for the pictures. From seeing that I can tell you have a 3,500 lb axle and the correct replacement hub would be the part #AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K that you referenced which comes with new bearings and seal.

Overpacking the trailer hub with grease is the number one reason for grease seal failure. For a boat trailer I would recommend re-packing the hubs by hand with grease once per season and you'd be fine. I don't like recommending people use…
