Trouble In Trailer Town


Well today Jody and I worked on the my boat, we changed the bottom oil, filled the hydraulic reservoir, for the Lift, and began taking apart the hubs. The hub on the left side of the trailer was fine, cleaned the bearing and repacked it. On the other side, however, we ran into some serious problems. It appears that the seal must of broken last year allowing water to enter the bearing, and totally trash it. I'm considering changing the whole hub, as it may be easier, and it would probably be better. So remember, that sometimes it's a good idea to check those bearings, if I hadn't I definitely would of been sitting on 81 somewhere looking for bearings.

Hey my hub finally came today. I just need to assemble it and grease it, and it should be ready to go. I think I am going to rebuild the other hub just for the hell of it, put it in a bag, and put it under the seat in the boat.
