They might have a bearing set in wal mart. If not auto supply or academy.

[Mayhem]

Auto parts should have a replacement

[Chief]

The spindle is messed up now also
Don't think replacement bearings will do much good

[Lonestar Angler]

Academy should have a loaded hub with grease ready to go.

no help but , keep it up top

[cwbow]

can you clean up the spindle with emery cloth.

How safe would it be to ratchet strap the axle to the frame and limp home. Just spit balling here.

I've done it. Had to go about 30 miles to a tire shop. No problem.

We've already done that just to get the floor jack out from under it.

Just picked up a replacement wheel hub kit to see if it can get us back at least???

updates?

It depends on the severity of the damage.
Can you post pics? I work on semi trailers for a living.
We've saved a couple & lost a couple.
I had one fail on my semi trailer even I was trucking. The damage was in the oil valley. We replaced the bearings, races & wheel seals. Ran the trailer for another 2 years. I quit driving for my friend. He sold the trailer 3 years ago. It's still running.....

I have used JB Weld and emery cloth to "build back" a spindle that scored extremely bad on a camping trip to Colorado. I had several days to do it though, I worked on it during non busy times in the Rv park we were camping at. It made the trip back to Texas.

As previous, as long as the lone tire is good and not overloaded, ratchet up the axle and go.

You get it figured out?
