The 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 the metal.
