For the CE Smith 13515, does it require an outer bearing washer? I didnt have one before on the spindle. Thanks!

Hey Dale, you do not need to use an outer bearing washer with the CE Smith hub part # CE13515 that you referenced. You can put it on your spindle without one and it will be just fine. Are you wanting this as a backup or do you need a new huib?
