Good friends with the local Ranger dealer. My 2018 Ranger Z520L dual trailer hub is a Vault DB35. They are only sold with the brake assembly. You can buy these from any online or local trailer shop as it is an industry standard and Ranger Trail uses this with a sizable markup if you go through a Ranger dealer.

Could have reused the hub. Just need a new set of races and bearings and seal. No need to take off the spindle but also check the ware sleeve that the grease seal rides on for smoothness. I changed to grease and opted to use bearing buddies.

These are factory sealed oil-bathed maintenance-free hubs, no grease on these. These are manufactured by Vault and it is a DB35 model hub.

Been reading a lot about the grade (5) 5/8 x 4 1/2 torsion bolts that come with the torsion spindle and throwing them out and replace with grade (8) 5/8 x 4 1/2 because the grade 5 are known to stretch and come loose which will put a strain on the hub and cause bearing and tire wear.

I have not heard that myself. I have not had any issues with loosening, but you must use lock tight during install and tighten to torque spec.

Jeff, Take off the grade 5 bolts and throw them out, they WILL stretch after time. Replace them with all GRADE 8 stuff. I did it last year because I had a tire wearing on the inside bad, afetr replacing all mine with grade 8, NO ISSUES at all. It's not hard to do and you will not regret it. It's a must in my book

I bought several different types and sizes and brought them home. They all came from Lowe’s. I did have to do a little sanding on the end to get it to go into the live well discharge hole. The one I used came from the landscape sprinkler area that is design to have a hose push onto the fitting because it had groves in it to hold the hose.

Love seeing this! I'm the one that designed that for you and made it. So happy with the way it turned out on your boat! I'll have to work on a mid size center piece for the 8" mount. It's tough finding a universal length that will work on every boat. Also the main reason for those is to keep the mount from rocking at all and wallering out the mounting holes. Thank you again for sharing this video! P.S. there will be a cup holder attachment coming in the future.

Where did you get the part numbers to order and where I have the same problem
I am having the same issue. On my 18 520l also. My failed in November coming home also. I'll probably have to change everything. Looks like I tore up the brake caliper as well. This is going to be the second one that I have replaced. This time I am going to so it myself. Very informative video thank you

The brake caliper is torn up from keeping the wheel from coming off the trailer. When it is a complete failure, the brake caliper is the ONLY thing keeping the rim and tire on the trailer. If you ever fail to release the manual brake release and travel very far, the heat from the dragging brakes will cause premature failure as well. Not that I have ever done that! LOL

It should be very close to the 9:00 or 3:00 position if you did not pre-mark the location. You might try pulling the tire off the opposite side and measure the center of hub up to the fender to try to get the closest estimate. There are many teeth on the spline so it is very minor adjustment with each tooth. As long as you put the bolt through on the spindle you could put the rim and tire on and lower the jack to see the actual height in the fender well.

So relays work when they heat up and make contact on the other side to close the circuit. They start working intermittently before they stop altogether. Good luck!

Did this fix your issue? TH is sending me a new actuator. I think it’s the relay because it is intermittent like yours. One day it works fine then it goes up or down then it doesn’t or goes super slow.
