Boat trailer maintenance

[QUOTE=TUSHHOG;1637860]That's what I'm talking about !!!

I agree with you and jimp but I would feel better knowing I had the stuff to fix it if it broke.

I realize things break for no reason, even with the best of preventive maint. If you don't have a spare tire carrier, you can get a spare tire & hub carrier to mount a spare hub & tire on, won't have all that stuff in the tow vehicle and you know where it is. Just have to put the tools in the tow vehicle/boat. Make sure you get a suitable lock to protect your investment from parking lot thefts and such. A complete hub is the best way to go as trying to remove races and shattered bearings on the side of the road would not be the least bit fun.

Maj, when you go see Phil have him show you what tools you would need and how to remove inner race off axle if it comes apart and is stuck on axle.

Can't believe I am agreeing with a Vol!!!
Your right about a complete hub assembly, if your going to haul around extra parts get the complete set.
