You can use any of three spindles with the Trailer Hub Assembly - 2,000 lbs Axles - 5 on 4-1/2, item # 34822545BX. I have listed these spindles below.

# TRU94FR - BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/4" Diameter
# TRU59FR - BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-3/8" Diameter
# TRU97FR - Square BT8 Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/2" Wide

The main difference in these spindles is the mounting dimensions on the inboard end of the spindles. the bearing seal and threaded portions of the spindles are all the same.

The 205/65-10 and the 20.5 x 8-10 would be very close in size. Assuming that 20.5 is the diameter of the tire and 8 is the width. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, #AM3H390, for example, is 8.3 inches wide with a…

Hello Rob, thanks for reaching out. We do offer some 4 on 4 hubs that will fit a 1" spindle, but we do not have anything for a short spindle like you described. A lot of older trailers used shorter spindles, and this design is not obsolete. The…

The 1.375" measurement corresponds with the #LM48548. The closest thing to 1.255 I'm aware of is the #LM67048 which measures 1.250" for the inner diameter. One way or another, bearing combinations using the #LM48548 are obsolete so we…

Removing a damaged spindle is the easy part - it can be cut off with a torch or saw. But welding on a new one is another matter and requires the new spindle be welded exactly straight. It is actually easier to replace the entire axle with a new one…
