Video Transcript for TryRyde Tang Type Replacement Spindle Washer Review
Today, we're going to show you a replacement tang type spindle washer from True Ride, part number 5-101. This is our tang washer, right here. You can see it's flat. It's got thickness of a 1/32 of an inch and here's our 2 tabs right here, for tangs. What happens is, when you install this, you bend 1 of these tangs up into a slot for your casting nuts, that's what holds your cast nut in place and keeps it from backing off.
It's pretty simple to install, let's go ahead and do it right now. A couple stipulations . Your spindle will have to be a D type spindle, also this is only going to work with a 1 inch spindle. To install it, the flat spot on the spindle, goes where the tangs are, you slide it in place. I'll install the casting nut and we'll go ahead and tighten it down. We'll run our casting nut on until it stops, then you can back it off just a little bit. Then we'll select 1 of the tangs to bend down. We'll use a flatblade screwdriver to bend down the tab over the tangs that fits in the notch, here, on the casting nut.
Get it started, then push down on it and you see, our casting nut is locked into place. It still has movement, like it should, and you're good to go. And that will finish it for the tang type replacement spindle washer from True Ride, part number 5-101.

Replacement Spindle Washer - Tang Type for E-Z Lube - 5-101
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (621 Customer Reviews)

I purchased 2 galvanized wheels and 2 galvanized hubs. The box they shipped the items in was sealed well with staples and was robust, but the items weren't separate well at all. Whomever packaged the order placed a few pieces of packing paper inside. All the items were tossed around and dinged up. The threaded wheel lugs on the hub were dented and needed to be filed and thread chased. Other than that, the products seem nice, but time will tell.
by: Jesse 03/28/2023
After being in storage, in a field, for more than 2 years, Water had contaminated the original hub, pitting the bearings and races and they had not been serviced since, at least 1999. I polished up the EZ lube spindles, flushed out the old grease and I was ready. Everything fit perfectly. It was aa perfect match. Used new Nuts and Washers. re-installed the Wheels and Tires, Torqued to 90-10lb. The old 6 x 4 Wells Cargo trailer is once again Ready for the coming rendezvous season.

When replacing the wheel bearings there was no cotter key like most trailers have . Broke off the tab on the washer and contacted E Trailer and the had the right part . Ordered the part and it was delivered right away . Excellent communication via the email . Followed up after the parts were delivered . Also had a video on how to install . Wish I would have watched that video before I broke off the tab on the original washers !!!!!
by: Jeff08/26/2023
All of the parts I ordered arrived together and nothing was damaged, so that’s a plus. Ordering the seal puller and 7 piece installation set was definitely a good investment, because it definitely made everything that much easier to install!
by: Bob N.03/28/2011
Please see the attached picture of the broken parts I found when inspecting the wheel bearing on my boat trailer.
I was unaware of the tang wheel bearing washer assembly until I visited your website and watched the installation video.
I had never seen any other method than the cotter pin assembly to retain the bearing on the axle.
I was glad to see the the actual way the washer was manufactured. It didn't seem right that the small tab alone cold retain the bearing.
Thank you for the video and the prompt delivery of the needed parts.
by: Kevin 06/06/2023
Perfect! Couldn't find these locally. I have an "old school" boat trailer that needed some repair.
by: Todd 03/04/2023
I bought this for a spare as prefer the other style of retainer. I can not find this locally and like to keep an extra set of bearings & retainer on hand, just in case.

clear description of parts,good price and fast delivery.
by: Dean 06/04/2023
Fast shipping, good customer service. Not the cheapest but a fair value for your money,plus no one around me had them in stock
by: Joshua10/05/2022
Easy replacement. Tabs broke on the old washer while removing to perform brake job. Washers were packaged individually and shipped in the box with the 4 brake assemblies I ordered. No damage to any componenets during shipping and parts were a direct replacement.
by: Vincent 04/10/2023
Locking washer did the job.
by: Mark 05/25/2023
Website was quite easy to navigate. Parts arrived quickly and undamaged. I haven't gotten to install them yet, but they appear to be the proper ones. These are parts I will NOT reuse, so I was glad to get the new ones.
by: Chris 06/20/2023
There was no invoice in the package. Shipping was prompt.
Thank you.

Great service, everything as advertised. Prompt shipping.
by: Hatch10/11/2016
When repacking the bearings on my trailer, the lock rings were damaged. Unable to find them locally, I checked etrailer and there they were! I submitted my order, which was received in record time, and with the correct item. I do a fair amount of ordering online, and etrailer sets the standard in my opinion. Communication and follow-up from etrailer is excellent. Have recommended etrailer to my friends, and will continue to do so. A+++++!!!!!
Comments
Very happy. My parts requirement was very small, but not available around here. Although this part doesnt generally wear in normal use, it has done the exact job so far, and the service/shipping were extraordinary. Next time I need trailer parts, etrailer.com will be where I go!
Hatch - 10/11/2017by: Jerry J.09/03/2016
These tanged washer were replacements for my camper trailer hubs. I wanted to place new tang washers on my spindles because the old ones had be removed and reinstalled several times. Didn't want to take a chance of tab breaking off on the road.
Comments
My wheels are still on the camper and we have traveled more than 7,000 miles since.
Jerry J - 09/03/2017by: Donald07/24/2018
An odd, yet necessary, item when doing bearings on a boat trailer (it locks the castle nut in place). I live in an "inland" area and while local bearing providers stocked the bearings, they didn't stock the lock washer. Fortunately etrailer did and they were inexpensive and promptly shipped.
Comments
The product is one of those place and forget things. Having been installed, it has never given me any problems which is the nature of such place and forget things. So, still pleased.
Donald - 07/24/2019by: Tommy 03/30/2023
Part was what I needed. Very pleased. Came when it was supposed to.
by: Steven 03/26/2021
The Spindle washer is good quality and the proper size. It took 9 days to arrive via free shipping. That was a bit excessive. -Steve

- Replacement Spindle Washer for an EZ Lube SpindleWe have several styles of spindle washers available. To see them all check out the link I attached to the right. You will need to pick the style that's as close to yours as possible.
view full answer... - Wheel Bearings for Old Moore Sled TrailerI don't have any information available that would tell me which bearings your trailer used, but I can certainly help you figure it our for yourself. Closely examine the old bearings, looking for a part number engraved on the bearing cage. Get the numbers off both the inner and outer bearing. If you can't read the reference number, you can use an accurate measuring device like a digital caliper to measure the diameter of the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride, as well as the...

- Method for removing and Installing Tang-Style Spindles WashersA 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 place, of course, and the washer's prongs fold down into the gaps in the nut to prevent it from loosening on the spindle. The removal and re-installation processes are shown for you in the linked video.

However, none of then have an inner diameter of 1-1/16 inches. I recommend using a set of digital calipers to take the measurement because it needs to be as accurate as possible and traditional measuring devices are not quite accurate enough. You mentioned that the trailer takes L44649 bearings. If both the bearings are the same size then the washer associated with the size spindle that takes...
view full answer... - Does Tang Washer Go Between Spindle Nut and Hub WasherYou'd want the tang washer like the # 5-101 that you referenced between the washer and the nut.

- Tang Washer for E-Z LubeFrom my research it looks like the Dexter 005-101-00 are tang washers for E-Z lube spindles before 2002. While that's not the specific application of Replacement Spindle Washer - Tang Type for E-Z Lube # 5-101, this part may still work for you. The # 5-101 washer has a 1" inner diameter and will fit on 1" diameter spindles. I've added a link to a video review of this part for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Installing TruRyde Replacement Tang Type Spindle WasherThe Replacement Spindle Washer # 5-101 referenced in your question is designed for 1 inch, D type spindles. The washer will install right between the castle nut and outer bearing, and the tang on the washer is bent up to prevent the nut from turning. There is not an additional washer between this and the outer bearing on the hub. I have attached an installation video that you can also check out.
view full answer... - How Many Tang Washers Comes In Part Number 5-101The Replacement Tang Washer # 5-101 comes with 1 washer with an inner diameter of 1 inch and has a width of 1/32 inches.
view full answer... - Fit of D Washer and Tang Washer for 1-1/16 Inch SpindleThe washer # 5-101 is the 1 inch diameter standard size and there is not anything that is 1-1/16 inches as you stated. This washer will work well along with the D Washer for EZ Lube Spindles # 5-23 for your spindle and bearings.
view full answer... - Tang Spindle Washer With 1 inch DiameterThe only tang spindle washer we offer with a 1 inch diameter is TruRyde part # 5-101 for an E-Z lube spindle. It does have two prongs to bend down over the castle nut. The Redline washer part # 5-71 is 1-1/2 inches in diameter. I have attached a video for your reference.
view full answer... - Are D-Washers and Tang Washers Both Necessary on Trailer SpindleWhatever bearing kit you got likely came with both to give you options. Since you already had a tang washer on your spindle you can stick with the tang washer. Using the tang washer like the # 5-101 with a D washer like the # 5-23 would give you no advantage.
view full answer... - Replacement D Tang Spindle Washer for E-Z Lube Spindle on 3500-lb AxleThe TruRyde Replacement D Tang Spindle Washer # 5-101 that you referenced has a 1-inch inner diameter to fit on 1-inch diameter spindles. All such items that we offer share this same 1-inch inner diameter, such as parts # 5-23 and # 5-57. The points on your spindles where the bearings ride can have a larger diameter than the exterior point where you will apply the D-washer. Please refer to the linked photo.

- Tang Style Washer for Trailer Spindle with Castle NutIt sounds like you are looking for the Replacement Spindle Washer - Tang Type for E-Z Lube # 5-101 if you have the D shaped spindle. If you don't then you will want the Tang Replacement Spindle Washer # 5-71 which has a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter or the Dexter Tang Washer - Type B # 5-59 which has a 1-3/4 inch inner diameter.
view full answer... - Tang Washer for 1-1/6 Inch SpindleWe do not have tang washers for 1-1/6" spindles, however, it is possible you might need a washer for a 1" diameter spindle, because 1-1/6" is the same diameter as bearing # L44649, which goes to 1" spindles. I recommend double checking with a digital caliper just to make sure you don't need a 1" washer such as Replacement Spindle Washer - Tang Type # 5-101. I've added a link to our page with each of our spindle washers for you as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Spindle Washer Recommendation for a Trailer SpindleSounds like you have a 1 inch diameter spindle and would need the part # SW1000 as this washer has an inner diameter of 1 inch. 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 slightly. Having it too tight would prevent the hub from spinning.
view full answer... - Availability of 1 Inch Keyed Spindle WasherWe have a few washers that would work for you. If you want the tang style that can be bent over the notch in the castle nut, go with # 5-101. If you're looking for the D washer used on EZ lube spindles, use part # 5-23. For a spindle with the grooved keyway in it, use part # 165863.
view full answer... - Spindle Nut Kit # RG05-100 Recommendation for an Older Style EZ Lube SpindleI spoke with my contact at Redneck and he informed me that yes, the Spindle Nut Kit # RG05-100 should work well on your trailer that the Tang Washer part # 5-101 is recommended for.

view full answer... - Bearing Kit and Tang Washers for Dexter 3,500 lb AxleThanks for the picture of the plate on your axle. Based on that I was able to determine you have a Dexter 3,500 lb axle and the correct bearing kit is the # BK2-100 that you referenced. For additional tang washers you'd need the part # 5-101.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearing Kit for a 2,200 Pound EZ Lube AxleThe etrailer.com Bearing Kit, L44649 Inner/Outer Bearings, 10-60 Seal # BK1-150 will actually be the correct one. The included seal will have an outer diameter of 1.987 inches and an inner diameter of 1.50 inches. This also includes the TruRyde Spindle Washer - Tang Type for E-Z Lube # 5-101 and should get you completely taken care of.
view full answer... - Spindle Nut Washer and Grease Seal for a Dexter 3500 Pound E-Z Lube Trailer AxleThe Replacement Spindle Washer, # 5-101, was designed specifically for E-Z Lube axles, so that should be the correct washer for you. You can make sure that your spindle has a 1 inch diameter at the end where the washer will be. It sounds like you have a #84 spindle which is for 3500 pound E-Z lube axles. The correct seal would be # RG06-050, for a pair of double lip seals. To be sure, you would need to find the bearing numbers of the inner and outer bearings. The numbers are stamped into...

These are both for 1 inch spindles but are compatible with the 7/8 inch castle nut assemblies. You can also use the Replacement Spindle Washer - Tang Type for E-Z Lube # 5-101.
view full answer... - Causes for Hub Castle Nut to Come Loose After Installing and Using HubsA tang washer like # 5-101 or # 5-71 has a tab to secure the castle nut on the spindle so that it cannot rotate or back off on the threads. If the tang washer tab (or a cotter pin) is still in place in the notch on the castle nut (as in the linked photo) the nut should not be able to move. The only other place where slack in the hub's fit could develop is at the back side where the grease seal installs. This is the portion of the spindle noted by the arrow in the linked diagram.

- Type of Spindle Washer Used on Boat Trailer Spindle with a Notch/Slot on SpindleActually what you have is pretty standard. It's a tang washer setup. We have the part # 5-101 or part # 5-71 which are similar styles. I attached a picture of what the part # 5-101 is designed to fit.
