Trailer Breaks/bearings
Getting the boat ready for the year and decided to check the trailer breaks/bearings.
I could not get the breaks off. Had to cut them out.
Tried 2 kinds of penatrating oil and even heat.
After getting them off, I tried to pound out the studs. After about 2 hours I got 1 out.
Gave up and purchased new breaks.

Love Fishing, wish I caught fish more often.

They came stock on the Load Rite trailer.
On the good side. Bearing buddies have them looking like new.
Only bearing that was starting to pit was one the rear seal rusted out.
Noticed the grease on the back of the wheel.
Also,
LOVE my new Garage to have a working space. Started the breaks and found I needed new parts. Left everything laying on the floor until the order came in. Now I just need heat. (500 watt flood lights work up close)

I hate trailer breaks, there has to be a better way.
Your garage is awesome, I would love to have my boat indoors with a workshop along side.

I removed mine too and no more one wheel burn-outs leaving my driveway. I pull a 23 inboard with a half ton 4x4 GMC and stops it fine. I wet slip the boat so it's only a local tow 2 twice a year.

Bearing buddies are bad news. When you pump grease in, the pressure rolls the inner seal and lets water in. There should be no reason to need to add grease if you use good seals, caps, and pack bearings properly. My bearings never pitted. I would repack and replace seals end of every season. |

Classic...I bet we all have stories of wheels locked up dragging the trailer across the yard plowing a trench along the way or leaving rubber on the pavement and if the boat is not on the trailer the trailer jumps violently as the wheel is stubborn to move. In the end you have a flat spot on the tire and a bad smell. But you don't care because the bite is hot and heavy and you need to move the boat now godamnit!  |
