Remove and Reinstall a Trailer Hub Review Video

There is no specific torque rating for the castle nut that holds your hub in place. We recommend tightening the castle nut down until it stops, and then backing it off to the next notch wheel the tang washer will fit into the castle nut. Over…

A replacement tang-style spindle washer like part #5-101 is intended to be installed behind the castle nut and have its prongs bent down so that they prevent the castle nut from rotating on an E-Z Lube type spindle. The castle nut holds the washer in…

After you've packed the bearings and assembled everything, carefully slide the hub assembly onto the spindle and install the outer bearing. Install the spindle and tang washer and run the spindle nut down finger tight, then rotate the hub back…

A Dexter Torflex axle that has a capacity of 1,400 lbs would be a #9 Torflex axle, and we do have the right bearing kit for that. The correct part is the Bearing Kit #BK1-150.

As long as the bolt pattern is the same and you have enough room all around the existing tires for the larger size then yes, you can go to a 15 inch wheel and tire. There are a couple other things you will want to look at though. If the wheels attach…

I can absolutely understand not wanting to take your hub apart to find the right replacement hub, but unfortunately that is the only option as the numbers you referenced are not any type of indicator of a replacement. So, to determine the correct hub…

The Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part #75547, uses 4 hex bolts that are M10 X 1.25 X 30. However, you shouldn't tap the threads uness you absolutely have to as a last resort. I highly recommend cleaning them before tapping them. I've…
