Some trailer trouble

[Chris]

Might be a good time to change those hubs. Oil bath is the most durable, but immersing them is a problem. My favorites are the one's that use grease but you pressurize with a little basketball pump and needle.

Consider it a blessing, going down the road and get a flat with no way to get the wheel off.... might be a good time for a little PM on the rest of the wheels....

You beat me to it. I was going to say grind it off.

Rick, just thought about this again. U can also take the bearing out , take the hole wheel off including the brake drum, then take a grinder and cut the stud off in the back, then just dis asamble and throw in a new stud !!!!!:cheers2:

I watched my grandpa freeze one once, then hit it with a big punch and inertial amplification device and it snapped right off....

OK, the hub covers screw off from the outside, still not sure I can get the caliper out of the way with the wheel attached, but we shall see.

For the alignment problem...........

Should these be level, or at least pivot freely?

The tire that is wearing the outside is 1/4" more spacing hub to hub than the other side, that would explain the outside wear, if these are stuck like this??

first right, then left, the pen in the pic is front on both sides.

Oh yeah, they are disc brakes, Kodiak., reliable oil bath hubs, and yes, the covers unscrew.
