REMOVABLE SPINDLE OPTION
Ability to replace a damaged spindle in the field greatly reduces
repair costs by not having to replace the complete axle.
With only one bolt to remove, the procedure is quick and
easy.
Removal of the spindle requires no special
tools.
A positive spindle location with “D” washer design
ensures proper brake flange location for brakes and
E-Z Lube® hole.
Positive depth location with clamping bolt and detent groove takes out the guess work with no measuring
required.
Clamping bolt and washer are made of stainless steel to resist corrosion resulting in easy removal.
One spindle will replace either side, no need to order a left hand or right hand side.
