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.

Excellent item that's hard to find local. Great prices and service with etrailer.
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
Hi I’m happy with the product not happy with the packing you guys just through the hubs in the box no packing to stop them bouncing around The metal covers they go on the outside of the hub or bent so I’m over here trying to bend them back to get them on the hub
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.
Ordered the parts by phone. Melissa was highly knowledgeable and extremely professional. Would recommend eTrailer to anyone that needs trailer parts or trailer hitches.
Spindle washer was perfect replacement for old damaged washer.
There ok. I would build them a bit heav ier.
Before ordering these Replacement parts on etrailer for my 2002 boat trailer I made attempt searches on other sites and much to my surprise nobody could match the price or the complete inventory of my needs that etrailer offered. These folks are the real deal
Exactly what I ordered. Came in a decent amount of time. I would gladly pay more for bearings, races and seals from USA, Canada, EU, etc from etrailer if and when they can find producers. This is the place to go when you’re not sure precisely what you need. They’ll walk you through it, no sweat.
Exact replacement. Fit perfect on my EZ-Lube spindle to do the critical job of locking bearing nut in place.
Fit as advertised. Made changing / servicing bearings easy.
Easy fix. Good stuff. Might order a spare in case of an unexpected roadside repair
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+++++!!!!!
Considering the Covid has affected everything, I still received parts in an acceptable time frame! Thanks for quick service!
Good as the original.
Parts were as describe Fast shipping
fitment was good!
I will keep these with my trailer supplies for when I have to pull my hub/drum for brake inspection and reassembly.
EXACTLY what I NEEDED for my trailer! First I went to the local Auto parts store, the first question they asked 'What is the make and model of your car". I should of know better. First question from etrailer... how many do you want! THANKS etrailer you are the best source for my trailer parts. ALSO It was delivered on time!
Everything I buy for you guys is always been quality & Correct keep up the good work thank you
Perfect fit. My trailer was borrowed and came back with a replaced hub - while servicing the hubs I noticed that the replaced hub did not have one of these installed. Scary. Ordered one from Etrailer and had it a few days later, shipping was cheaper than running all over town trying to run this part down.
helped me find what I needed and shipped it faster than I ever expected. I will do business here again.
I was very pleased with the delivery speed and price from etrailer. In addition to that the new locking washers appeared to be manufactured from thicker material. I believe the thicker material makes a quality and long lasting part. The last observation I want to tell you is the part was not available from local auto parts store where I reside. The part appeared immediately on your website. You get a five star rating.
This boat trailer came with Tie-Down brake components, and I believe they were bought out by Dexter. Trying to find these specific part numbers on-line was virtually impossible. Thanks to bits and pieces I could glean from this website I made a calculated guess for proper replacement components -- including these clips and grease seals. Most of my applications used cotter pins, so this configuration is a little more involved if you suddenly find the old part no longer is functional. Best I can tell everything seems to be working correctly.
