They don't offer a spindle large enough.

Futher research indicates that Dexter 9k axles don't have "spindles". They do have straight axles, and drop axles, and they also have stub axles that some call spindles. But Dexter wants only the pros to mess with stub axles, so you probably won't find out much about them.
SouthWestWheel is a Dexter axle distributor, so they should have the parts you need to replace one end of a stub axle. So if you have stub axles, then contact the trailer parts folks at
www.southwestwheel.com and talk to them. The Dexter website shows the SouthWestWheel San Antonio and Corpus Christi stores both are Dexter axle distributors, so I suspect the Dallas HQ is too.
But if you can get the parts to DIY, then understand that alignment is critical and very hard to do with stub axles. That's probably why Dexter doesn't say much about repair parts for their stub axles.
If you have straight axles or drop axles instead of stub axles, and you don't want to patch the old axle, then you'll need to replace the whole axle. But that's fairly easy to do on your driveway, with no real problems of alignment. Just be sure you don't get the new axle installed upside down, which is easy to do with a "straight" axle. Don't ask how I know. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Straight axles aren't straight - they have a slight curve in them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]
