Dexter Tang Washer 005-059-00, 1 3/4 Inch 14 GA, for E-Z Lube Trailer Axle Spindle Nuts (Prior to 6/02)

The Dexter Tang Washer, part number 005-059-00, is a 1 3/4 inch, 14 gauge washer used at the spindle nut on Dexter E-Z Lube trailer axles. Its tanged edge locks into the spindle to keep the washer from spinning while the spindle nut is torqued, helping maintain correct bearing preload on the axle. This washer is one of the components included in Dexter's Spindle Nuts & Washers Kit (K71-335-00), which is built for Dexter E-Z Lube axles with a 1 inch-14 UNS spindle thread, produced prior to 6/02. It is a wear item commonly replaced during bearing service, hub repacking, or brake work on trailer axles, and keeping a spare on hand avoids delays when a tang washer is found damaged or missing during routine maintenance.
