The spindle on your Dexter axle is going to be similar to the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR in the image below. You can see there is a hole in the spindle where the grease will push through into your inner bearing. From there it will move along the spindle to the outer bearing where you will see the grease begin to push out the bearing and fill the grease cap. When filling you will want to turn the hub to ensure grease gets pushed through the entire inner bearing. This process should be... view full answer...
From the pictures you provided, you have a UFP DB-42 disc brake set up on your 2008 Trail-Rite. This isn't something we carry, but it looks like these systems use the # L68149 inner bearing and the # L44649 bearing, so you do have a common spindle for a 3,500 pound axle.
With that said, we do have the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS that looks like it would be a perfect replacement. This is rated for 3,500 pound axles and will use these same bearings, though not included so you will... view full answer...
The Dexter 69-46 axle has a straight spindle with # L44649 bearings. For a replacement spindle you can use the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # TRU44FR. Then for an idler hub, the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K would be a great replacement.

To start you will want the Kodiak Disc Brake kit part # KOD69FR which is a Dacromet coated hub and rotor kit that fits your spindle. You will need to swap out the grease seals though to the # GS-2125DL since you have the slightly smaller spindle. Then you will lastly need to swap out the master cylinder of your Titan Model 10 drum actuator to the part # T4747100 and you'd be set. view full answer...
The #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles Item # TRU77FR does not come with a castle nut so you'd need to order that as well with part # 165686. view full answer...
It might seem that the spindle being slightly bent isn't a big deal but it can definitely lead to another blowout so you'll want to replace that spindle with a new one. It looks like you have a straight spindle like the standard BT8 found as part # TRU94FR for a circular end or part # TRU97FR for a square end.
A damaged spindle will cause more friction which, in turn, increases the amount of heat produced which can lead to your bearings failing or a tire blowout. So any time a spindle... view full answer...
If you are positive that your bearings have the same L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) inner bearing and the L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) outer bearing as the #84 EZ Lube Spindle # TRU77FR, we have what you need! You have a 3,500 pound capacity axle with idler hubs (thanks for the photos!)
For the hubs, I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K. This comes with the same 6 on 5-1/2 pattern that you need. This is for a non-braking... view full answer...

There are usually only a few small difference between a 5,200 lb and a 7,000 lb trailer axle but not every two are the same even with the same capacity as different manufacturers make them to different specs. The actual axle thickness can play a role in capacity as well as the brakes/hubs. The #42 E-Z Lube Spindle part # TRU37FR can work with either so long as the inner diameter is 2-1/4". view full answer...
Thank you for providing that information. Since you have a 6,000 lb axle we can narrow down the parts. However, you will still need to identify your grease seal. Unfortunately, the serial number won't help in this case since Axis Products, Inc. was sold in 2015 so no information is available.
For brakes you can use the # AKEBRK-7-SA if you need electric brakes or the # AKFBBRK-7 for hydraulic brakes. For the hub/drum assembly we have a few options based on the grease seal inner diameter... view full answer...

I took a look at the photo you included and it does appear to be a match based on this but you will again want to verify by measuring. view full answer...
I'm assuming since you mentioned the psi for the tires that you have them inflated correctly. Trailer tires should be at the max psi unless the manufacturer says otherwise. Since you don't have any uneven wear, and nothing else is overheating aside from that tire, it sounds like there is an internal issue with the tire itself. It might be a loose belt or something similar.
Since these are new tires, I would contact the manufacturer and see about getting a replacement under warranty.... view full answer...

The #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR is the closest we have to what you are looking for. This spindle has a 1-3/4" diameter stub which you can sleeve with a 1/8" thick 2" OD steel tubing to get to the 2" diameter you are needing. view full answer...
Based on the axle and bearing measurements it looks like your trailer was using a Dexter 22834 hub. The Outer Bearing # 1779 has an ID of .938" and the Inner Bearing # 2788 has an ID of 1.50". The outer bearing is slightly off but that may be due to a measuring error. That would also mean you have 5,200 lb axles on the trailer. This is an obsolete assembly so you will need to replace the entire axle.
For a replacement you can use the # e55SR. This will stick out an extra 3/4" on either... view full answer...
Since your axle diameter is 3 inch that would mean that your axle capacity is between 5.2k and 7k so for a replacement spindle the EZ Lube Spindle part # TRU37FR would fit and work well. This has a 5 bolt spindle though. view full answer...

We can get your trailer rolling again, and to get the correct replacement hub and spindle, you will just need to take a look at a couple things and get some measurements.
You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use digital caliper and measure your spindle to the thousandths of an inch where the bearings... view full answer...
We have the #42 Spindle # TRU57FR that you can weld to your trailer. It is a 2-1/4" round stub as we do not have any square stub spindles that are rated for over 2,500lbs per spindle.
With these spindles you can use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-K since you do not need a braking hub. The hub is 6 on 5-1/2" as the 5 lug wheels are not strong enough for the 10,000lb capacity that you are needing.

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.
Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub... view full answer...
The # TRU44FR spindle you'd looked at is compatible with an L44649 inner and outer bearing, like what's used by the # CE13109. The hub includes the inner and outer bearing and race, the grease seal, the dust cap and the lug nuts. The hub has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. For a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, use # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K. view full answer...
When it comes to upgrading your 4.80-8 tire to a 4.80-12 the width of the tire and bolt pattern will be the same so it can be switched. The difference is height is 4.6 inches.

In the answer page you're referring to Conner didn't say the hub face to brake flange is useless. He said measuring from brake flange to brake flange (from one side to the other) isn't really helpful when choosing a replacement axle. The 2 most important measurements are hub face and spring center distances.
With that being said, the replacement spindles # TRU77FR and # TRU74FR will have matching distance from the hub face to the brake flange because they are both modern #84 spindles... view full answer...

To replace a spindle, the old one would need to be cut off, and the new one welded into place. This is NOT a job for the do-it-yourselfer. The new spindle must be absolutely square with the axle in order to prevent premature tire wear and wheel tracking problems. I would recommend finding a welder who is experienced with trailer axles.

When installing the new units I highly recommend using the services of a certified professional with this type of experience. The spindle has to be welded perfectly square to the axle or you're going to have constant issues with the trailer's suspension... view full answer...

The spindles can be replaced. However, they will need to be welded by a certified welder. They use special jigs so that it is concentric and square on the axle or it can cause problems with uneven tire wear and wheel tracking.

The TruRyde #84 Spindle # TRU24FR does have a 2 inch diameter, but that is actually designed to fit inside the 2 3/8 inch axle. The stub on the end will extend inside the axle a little ways allowing for added support view full answer...
The #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR is the same size spindle uses on your Lippert Torsion Axle. The stub is 1-3/4" diameter and 4-1/4" long. You will need to compare this to the size used on your 2021 Forest River R-Pod 196 to determine if any modification will be needed. view full answer...
I checked with Trudyde, and I was able to find out that the bar stock material used to make the spindle # TRU77FR is hot rolled SAE 1045 steel which is a medium carbon common steel grade. view full answer...
One of the big issues that EZ lube spindles create is that it's too easy to put too much grease into them which then either causes the seal to blow out or the cap to leak like what you have found. This oftentimes happens after that first trip like what happened to you. I don't actually recommend using the EZ lube fitting to add grease and instead recommend just packing it all by hand and leaving it as-is.
In your case I would recommend pulling the hubs off and making sure the seal is... view full answer...
The Lippert Lubed Straight Spindle with Brake Flange # TRU27FR has a stub diameter of 1-5/16" and is designed to fit a 2,500-lb axle. If your tow dolly has those specifications, this spindle will work on your axle. If you're not sure, check the bearings; if your inner and outer bearings are # L44649 , this is the correct spindle.
If you've got a different axle and/or different bearings, let me know and we can find the appropriate replacement spindles for you. view full answer...
To upgrade to an EZ lube setup will require you to replace your axle or you could just replace the spindle. For a spindle with a 4 bolt mounting plate you would want the part # TRU74FR as it is an ez lube spindle. For a new hub/drum to fit this you would want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K or for a idler hub part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.
Welding a spindle is not something we recommend most people doing. Most axles have these welded on at the factory with specialized jigs and higher precision... view full answer...
For your 2 inch by 2 inch axles you would want a Redline Spindle for Square Axles # TRU47FR. This is a square spindle designed for 2 inch square axles so it should work for well for you.
Check out the review video I attached.
The EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR you referenced is designed for round axles so it would not work for you.

The spindle that you referenced, part # TRU47FR, will work great for you. This spindle features a 4 inch long stub, and is rated for a 3,500-lb axle.

We do have options like the #42 E-Z Lube Spindle part # TRU37FR which has the correct 25580 and LM67048 bearing combo that you need. In order to confirm fit you will however still need to confirm the axle tube type (round/square) and diameter (if round). If it's a round 3" diameter axle then you will be good to go with the above. view full answer...
It looks like you cut the spindle off but left the brake mounting flange on your trailer. I would recommend you cut off the entire spindle and have a qualified trailer fabricator weld on the EZ Lube Spindle # TRU74FR as long as your brake assemblies are compatible with the 4 on 4-13/16 inch bolt pattern flanges of this spindle (it should).

Based on the image you sent of the spindle it looks like you will be best off replacing the spindles with the more common #42 Spindle # TRU37FR. The spindles are severely rusted and the grease seal would not hold seal properly allowing water to get in and damage any hubs you install. It would be best to install this on all the ends of your axles so you will have the common sizes when you need to replace parts as the mobile home axles do not use common parts since they are designed to be... view full answer...
To allow for full articulation so you don't have to worry about the tires bottoming out int he wheel wells, I'd recommend going with a 15° down torsion axle. If the original axle was a 0°, this would raise the trailer up a bit. A 'down' axle places the spindle centerline below the frame member, while a 0° would place it even with the frame. view full answer...
Spindle # TRU37FR is the highest capacity spindle we have at 2600 pounds. It is a 2-1/4 inch round stub. The part of the stub before the brake mounting flange is 3 inches but the length including the part on the other side of the flange before it tapers down to a smaller diameter would be 6 inches.
Then you could use hub and drum assembly # 8-219-4UC3-EZ which does fit the spindle and it has an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.
For electric brakes you can use # 23-105 for the left and # 23-106... view full answer...

I checked with the manufacturer, TruRyde, about the Square #84 Spindle (1750 lb) part # TRU47FR and can confirm that the grease seal portion of the spindle is actually larger than the bar stock. The grease seal mating surface is 1.73" and the bar stock that gets welded inside the axle is 1.50". It's hard to tell in the photos but you can just barely see the grease seal mating surface sticking out from the bar stock. view full answer...
