Remove and Reinstall a Trailer Hub Review Video

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…

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…

Hey Thomas, The pin you're referring to is a cotter pin #165649 that will slip through the a hole in the spindle and then is usually split and bent around the castle nut to prevent the pin from falling out and the castle nut from backing off. I…

The Dexter D35 axle is a 3,500 lb trailer axle so for a bearing kit you would want the part #BK2-100 that you referenced.

Hey Russell, I'm assuming you're talking about a surge actuator. So to test to see it's bad or not, or if it's your truck, you can jack up one side of the trailer and spin the wheel while someone manually activates the surge actuator…

You are correct, the only difference between the #8-219-4UC3-EZ and #42866UC3-EZ is the ID of the grease seal. The #8-219-4UC3-EZ uses a grease seal that has a 2.125 inside diameter while the #42866UC3-EZ uses a seal with a 2.250 inside diameter.

There is very little difference between the two. Both hub/drums are for a 7K axle, and have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern with 1/2 inch wheel studs. Either hub/drum includes the bearings, races, grease seal, lug nuts and E-Z Lube dust cap. The…

Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out! I see you purchased the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel #AM20353. Were you wanting to get a 205/75R14 tire as well? I wasn't able to find anything online referring to the part number you mentioned, but I'd…

I believe you meant a TDE 46245, is that correct? If that's the case, you've got a 3500 lb axle which uses a 10 inch hub/rotor with a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern. You'll want to use the Kodiak #KHR10D hub/rotor as a replacement. The hub…

Hey Dan, I'm happy to help! For a 3500 lb axle and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, you can use the CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly #CE13511 which is pre-greased with a carrying case if you don't need the galvanized option or the EZ Lube…

The TDE 46245 you have is a Hub and Rotor for a 3500lb axle and uses inner bearing #L68149 and outer bearing #L44649 and uses the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern For a replacement idler hub you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z…

The first set of bearings are Timken which we don't carry and don't have a cross reference for. We do have the race #L44610, with what I believe you meant to type #L44649, race #L68111, and bearing #L68149 with seal #RG06-050.
