Well the Bearing Saga Continues

This morning I was still waiting for my EZ Loader bearings for the trailer, but in the mean time I had all of the specs from the EZ Loader Guy (Bubba) seriously his name was Bubba, (Nice guy by the way), I was able to purchase two seals from Philadelphia Ball bearing here in Reading.

Drove up to the north in the AM, Had to take Pop for a Doctors Exam, so I figured, I could do the job when we got back.

The first one went real smooth, actually had to fit the seal in place with a hammer, all bearings repacked with Marine Grease. Pumped up the bearing buddy, no leaks things were looking up.

By the time I got to the other side of the trailer and jacked it up, the storm clouds were brewing. I was working as fast as I could, and of course, probably a little to fast, and when I went to hammer in the seal, it strayed from center, and bent. Game over. I put everything back together to avoid any more rain, but the damage was done. The weather beat me again.

I am mailing a set of seals up to the North today, and Jody and Joe said they may have some time to try and fix it before we go. If they can't I will try and do it when I get up there.

I have two more seals in reserve. That is the problem with old shit, they don't carry the parts for it, but that is another story, sailing antiques.


Talk to you guys later.

Thanks
