Default Re: How to replace rollers with boat on trailer

Since I'm not a millionare I am going to reuse the roller arms. I'll wire brush them and give a few coats of zinc paint.

I already have the new rollers, hog rings and square bend bolts for the roller arms.



The main arm would not flip and flop so I started to loosen the bolts and lube. Heck I'm this far into it I may as well replace the bolts and clean up the brackets.



I dont know what to call them but it's the part that the roller arms sit on, since they don't swish and sway I'm cutting them loose, cleaning and replacing there square bend bolts too.



I have an old style jack that is fairly worn and have been thinking about replacing it. When I went to pick up the rollers and bolts I asked the price of them and figured a bill this large whats another $40.



So it's off with the old and on with the new.





Here's a few pictures I didn't work into the story so far, figured I'd put them in now.

Drift punches



Dremel Quick change arbor.



Worn out roller washers.



Spare parts motor for $100.00




Thats all for now. One further thought, I HOPE I GET FINISHED BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS.
