Recommended Weight Distribution And Sway Control On Wells Cargo Motorcycle Trailer  

The Wells Cargo website indicates that their enclosed tandem-axle trailer model FT85162 has a GVWR of 7000-lbs so it has two 3500-lb axles. The specs did not indicate axle length. We have several 3500-lb axle kits with hubs and brakes that are shown…

You can certainly replace your existing 2,500 pound axles with 3,500 pound axles. If your trailer is not already wired for electric brakes and you want to add them, you will need to wire the trailer for electric brakes. I have attached a help article…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

Typically the axle diameter is a good way to determine capacity but with the capacities being as close as your they could be the same diameter. A 3,500 lb axle should be 2-3/8 inches in diameter. You can also check the plate up near the coupler of…

Based on the gross vehicle weight rating of your trailer, I'm thinking you have a 3500 lbs. axle. You will want to verify this by checking the label or sticker on the axle or contacting the trailer's manufacturer before making a purchase. If…

E-Z Lube spindles that have the grease zerk fitting on the end like yours don't use a cotter pin because it would interfere with the grease running through the spindle. Instead they use a tang washer, like part #5-101, which you should have. From…

We recommend that all trailer tires be inflated to the max psi stated on the sidewall of the tire. If the tire is under inflated, the weight capacity is lowered to an unknown amount for that tire. Although running lower air pressures can improve the…

I have included a picture that shows the measurements needed for a spindle, bearings, seals, faces, and hubs. The spindle measurements are labeled A through F. A is the spindle shaft diameter B is where the grease seal sits C is where the inner…

You are correct. The only difference between the two hubs you mentioned #AKHD-545-35-K and #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the grease cap. The #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K has a rubber plug on the grease cap to allow for easy access to a zerk fitting on an EZ lube spindle…

The kit you are looking for is the part #BRKH10B which is nuts and lock washers needed to install the brake assemblies part #AKEBRK-35-SA that you referenced. The nut size is 7/16-20.
