Default Re: trailer bearings / tires

Well now you will have to get a new bearing kit, have to see what size you have?

You also have to bang out the old races, they are the metal things that the bearings sit on.
I use a old "made in China" 3/8 extension.

To put the new races line it up and use a 2x4 to hammer stright in, then I use the old race to seat it in all the way.

Then just reassamble as before. Its not hard to do!

New hubs are nice but a waste of $$, cause if you maintain the trailer from now on you will never have to replace the bearings for YEARS!!
