How To Secure A Hub Assembly To A Spindle On A 3,500 Lb. Axle

Expert Reply:

The majority of most axles use either a retaining nut or cotter pin with a "D" washer and castle nut to secure the hub onto the spindle. I am not sure what you are referring to as most common axle types do not use a lock washer to secure the hub assembly to the spindle, however I have included all the parts you will need to do so.

For the retaining nut you will need the Replacement Nut Retainer part # 6-190. If you need the "D" washer and castle nut you will want the "D" Washer part # 5-23 and the Trailer Spindle Nut part # 165686. All of these are for a 3,500 lb. axle.

If this is not correct, please send me a picture as to the part you are looking for and I would be glad to assist.
