Spindle Wear Sleeves Help

[rctreece]

Anybody ever replace the wear sleeves on their trailer? I not sure what to use to remove the old ones or what i need to put the new ones on.

Not sure what you are talking about?

He's talking about what UFP calls the L-ring, it is pressed onto the spindle, the lips of the seal ride on it...You can tap it off with a screw driver....you'll need to find a pipe or long socket with the right diameter to install a new one ...call Dennis at UFP for help to get a new one...he can be reached at 800-835-9211 ext 16..

Thanks for the info.

Haven't seen any of those. My trailer is 20 yrs old.

Are you asking about the "race" ?? The part the bearing rides on.??

[rctreece]

No Lyn is correct. Just a steel cap that the rubber part of the inner hub bearing rides on.

the l-ring can be removed with pliers by lightly grabbing the spindle stock just past the l-ring, then, use a hammer to rap on the pliers, driving the press-fit l-ring off the spindle. An old inner bearing makes a dandy tool for driving the new one back on.
