Buy a new spindle and hub

[Muttley]

Can you post a pic of it with all the grease cleaned off? Is it the spindle that's trashed or the bearing races?

Spindle is welded to axle

If the spindle isn't damaged just get new bearing and race set for hub. Also replace with new seal. This is a pretty easy fix. Where are you located.

Here's a source for spindles, and any other trailer parts you might need. http://www.easternmarine.com/Trailer-Axle-Spindles/

I welded the inner race bearing to the axle with an anaerobic sealer that is available at auto parts store. It worked forever and it could be removed with a heat torch to soften the compound.

The spindle is shot I think a new axle might be the way to go

 I had to replace the axle on mine last year, got one at Farm and tractor. the bearing race was welded to the spindle. Cost about $250 for everything

     If You change the axle yourself make sure your squre it up with the trailer or you will destroy your tires.
