This is the welded replacement spindle for the 2000 to the 22000-pound trailer axle. This BT 16 trailer spindle can accommodate 1 1/16 "wheel bearings and 1 1/2" Id grease seals. You will see the exact size in the photo. You can use this spindle with a pre-lubricated marine trailer hub, sealed with five galvanized lugs 1 1/16 "bearing 1 1/2" to replace one side of the trailer axle completely. This spindle includes a spindle washer, slotted nut, and cotter pin.
This is an Accu-Lube type spindle, which means you can use the grease joint at the tip of the spindle to oil the trailer wheel bearings regularly. The grease enters the joint and is discharged through the grease port directly inside the grease seal. This allows the fat to be contained and sealed in the chamber of the hub. The total length of this spindle is 8 1/2 ".
What is the difference between trailer axles with brake flanges?
The main differences between trailer axles with brake flanges and axles without flanges are as follows:
Structural difference: Trailer axles with brake flanges are connected with flanges at the connection between the axle tube and the axle head, while trailers without flanges are directly related.
Functional difference: Trailer axles with brake flanges are usually equipped with braking devices to achieve a braking effect, while axles without flanges do not have this function.
Strength difference: Trailer axles with brake flanges require higher strength and stability to ensure stability during prolonged operation.
Different installation methods: Trailer axles with brake flanges must be installed on trucks or trailers, while axles without flanges are directly installed on vehicles.
In summary, there are significant differences in structure, function, strength, and installation methods between trailer axles with brake flanges and axles without flanges. The type of axle selected depends on the specific purpose and needs.
How to Install Trailer Axles
Installing trailer axles may require some professional tools and techniques. If you are unsure how to continue the installation, it is best to seek professional assistance to continue the installation.
If you need to install it yourself, please follow these steps:
Determine the installation position of the trailer axle. Usually, the axle should be installed at the center of gravity of the trailer to ensure stability and minimize the feeling of tilting during turns.
Prepare tools and accessories, including wrenches, screwdrivers, wheel screw brackets, and tires.
Remove the old axle. If you have determined the installation position, you need to remove the old axle to ensure that there is no component damage during the disassembly process.
Clean the axle. Clean the axle with soap and water to ensure there is no residual grease or dirt.
Install the wheel bearings. If your new car does not have wheel bearings on the axle, you need to install wheel bearings. Care should be taken during installation to ensure that the wheel bearings are not falling or being damaged.
Install the axle. Install the axle onto the trailer and use a wrench to secure the screws in place. Ensure that the screws are properly tightened to avoid axle looseness or damage.
Test the wheels. After installing the new axle, it is necessary to test the wheels for smooth rotation, abnormal noise, or looseness. Ensure that the wheels rotate smoothly without any abnormal noise or looseness.
Please note that installing the axle requires careful operation. If you have no experience or are unsure how to proceed with the installation, it is best to ask professional personnel to assist you with the installation.
