Torkettle Wheel Bearing Kit for 3500 lb Trailers — 4-Set 5-Lug #84 Spindle with Double-Lip Seals & Dust Caps

Torkettle's complete 4-set wheel bearing and hub hardware kit supplies everything needed to service four 3500 lb trailer hubs with 5-lug, 1-1/16"–1-3/8" axles and EZ-Lube spindles.

This comprehensive kit bundles paired inner and outer bearings and races, double-lip grease seals, grease-bearing hubs, spindle nuts, washers, cotter pins, dust caps, rubber plugs and extra shims — designed to replace worn components on boat or utility trailers that use spindle #84 and common 5-lug setups. Components are manufactured for long life and quieter operation, and the kit includes a few spare parts so you have replacements available during roadside repairs or routine maintenance.

What components are included and why do they matter?

The kit supplies matched bearing and race sets for both inner and outer positions, plus hub bearings and seals sized to fit the stated axle range. Each piece is meant to work together to keep the hub turning smoothly and to protect grease from water and dirt intrusion.

• 4× L68149 inner bearings and 4× L68111 inner races for load support.
• 4× L44649 outer bearings and 4× L44610 outer races for rotation stability.
• 4× 171255TB grease seals (1.719" ID, 2.565" OD) with double lip sealing to limit leaks.
• 4× spindle nuts, 4× shaft washers, 4× cotter pins, 4× dust caps (1.98" OD) and 4× rubber plugs included.

How do these parts fit 3500 lb axles and EZ-Lube spindles?

Parts are selected for common 3500 lb trailer axle dimensions and the #84 spindle profile, including compatibility with both standard and EZ-Lube grease fittings. Dust caps are intentionally sized slightly larger to ensure a secure press fit over the hub lip.

• Fits 1-1/16" to 1-3/8" trailer axles and spindle #84 configurations.
• Grease hub seals match EZ-Lube service points for straightforward lubrication.
• Larger dust caps require gentle seating with a wood block or rubber mallet to avoid denting.

What performance and durability features does the kit offer?

Bearings are precision-made to reduce operating noise and provide longevity under trailer loads. The double-lip grease seals help resist water and dirt contamination, while included hardware and extras reduce the chance of being stranded due to a missing part.

• Precision bearings for lower running noise and consistent rotation.
• Double-lip grease seals minimize grease loss and external contamination.
• Robust construction and heavier total kit weight (approx. 1928 g) indicate substantial material quality.

How should I install the dust caps and avoid damage?

Because the dust caps are intentionally oversized, they should be carefully seated to ensure a snug fit without deforming the metal. Use a wood block or a rubber mallet to press the cap evenly into place; avoid hammering directly on the cap surface.

• Align cap squarely and tap gently with a rubber mallet or strike through a wood block.
• Check for full seating and that the cap rim is flush with the hub face.
• Inspect seals and bearings for proper preload before final cotter pin installation.

Who is this for: This Torkettle bundle is aimed at trailer owners and DIY mechanics who maintain or rebuild 5-lug hubs on 3500 lb axles — especially boat owners and small-utility trailer users who need corrosion-resistant sealing, matched bearing sets and extra hardware in case of roadside repairs. It suits anyone replacing worn bearings, refreshing seals, or upgrading hub hardware for reliable towing performance.
