Re: U-Bolts
if you don't got it , you don't got it.
I did all mine on a singal axle trailer and nevertook the boat off. If you can and have the time to takes yours off go ahead.
as stated before, a 4 1/2 grinder is going to be your best friend to start!!
First if you are leaving the boat on the trailer, Jack up and block well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remove tires
Grind all bolts and take all apart.
add new leaf springs first, they are easy and requrie no special tools.
You will see the type springs you have when you take it all apart. There are slipper springs, hook springs, and eye to eye springs.
Slipers have one bolt in one end and just ride on the frame on the other end.
Hook springs are just like the slipers but hook over a bolt.
Eye to eye have a bolt on each end and spread with the shackle.
Now install the alxe, the springs will sit right on top then a plate goes over them and then the U bolts.
then hubs then tres and away you go!!
