[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 315956, member: 218"] So I'm repacking and replacing bearings & seals on my single axel boat trailer. After I removed the one hub, I noticed a very small gouge in the surface of the spindle. Might be 1/32 deep x 1/32 wide with about another 1/32 of steel rising out of the spindle...so super minor. Since this is the first service on a trailer that I purchased new, this little nick had to have been there from manufacturing. The nick is on the center-top of the spindle and no where near either of the bearing seat points....not a friction point, so the only thing that would come into contact with it is the grease between the spindle and the inside wall of the hub. What are your guys thoughts? Leave it or sand it down? I'm thinking I may do more damage to the spindle surface by sanding it, compared to this small gouge/nick. [/QUOTE]
