Nice! I bought spare hubs for our trailer just in case we have an issue on the road, easier to replace a hub then bearings on the side of the road!

this was a great video. very clear and concise. going to have to save this one. i just had my springs break and lost the axle. i got some new springs and lights and put it back together. thought about replacing the hubs so this was a great tutorial. thanks for sharing.

Upgrading to larger wheels has the advantage of making bearings last longer due to slightly lower RPM. And don't forget to wear disposable gloves so you save yourself time from constantly washing your hands.

tires go bad from UV caused cracking well before the tire wears out. covering your tires makes ALL the difference.

Didn't hear you talk about the diameter of the hubs. On that 1.06 spindle there are 2 available hubs, one for 8"&12" wheels and a wider one for 13" wheels. You need proper back up for wheel and hub to work properly.

Do you have to raise the fender?

@offroad6309 23 күн бұрын

@@neilcooper2125 yes you should. Won't take much of a bump with a loaded boat to have it rub. Keep in mind you will need to go deeper into the water to get the boat to float off the trailer. Tires and wheel bearings will be much happier though.

@chuckgrenci6404 2 ай бұрын

If the hubs were still in good shape, I think I would have chosen to just use a four bolt 12" wheel/tire configuration; only 1" difference, and still a pretty nice upgrade.

When I dont know the history of the parts or how the previous owner was with maintenance, I prefer to just start over. Nothing in this project was expensive

Bearing Budies only grease the outer bearings. The inner bearings can dry out and fail if you don't manually repack them.

Although that is a great upgrade for the wheel and hub, it doesn't do anything for the axle. So the weight it can carry should still be based on the axle max., or the lowest weight of all components.

@@GooberTimeOutdoors Just making sure listeners are aware. You would be surprised how many think they can now double the weight the trailer carries by upgrading one part.
