Thread: Snapped Wheel STUD!

  1. #61
    THanks Station Rat.

    SPinny things are the company who supplied me with the axle assy after they had sized it up for me.

    THe shifter was used to undo the top/bottom caliper bolts.

    When I began to feel fairly heavy resistance in tightening, I stopped - SHould I try again with brace?

    Thanks

    Your thoughts on the spline profiles please?

  3. #63
    Just tried brace - no good.

    What to do..?

    Splines look the same to me
    If you look in the hole is it pushing a ridge of metal infront of the stud or does the hole look clean? If the hole is clean go with the wheel brace and a spacer against the front of the hub, with the wheel nut on backward , so you don't damage the taper

    The caliper bolt is the same as RM trailers and a pain in the @rse.
    I had my hub off a while back and had to jack the axel up and loosen the u bolts to drop the springs out of the way to get at the bolt and use another jack to lift the spring back up and tighten the u bolts,Somthing I would hate to do on the side of the road.

    Why would they make a trailer like that. It becomes a major operation just to get the hubs off, to check bearings, replace pads.!!!!!!!!!
    Just to save a few dollars on the shorter axel

    Hi Billy
    How much short is the stud from being completely home against the back of the hub ?

    Hi Team.

    Job done! - Just managed to squeeze bottom bolt out and remove hub.

    Inserting wheel studs (all 5) in hub then took 3 min.

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks boys.

    At least I know what to do next time - all in training I guess..

    I am getting better at this boat stuff - despite what you all may be thinking...

    As u know, there are many many aspects to keeping your boat/trailer in top health and condition..

    Today's adventure will be to drain bad fuel out of my fuel tank, fasten the VRO unit into floor, prepare floor area for new pedestal seating and continue intermediate design of my new canopy....

    Regards

    Hi Billy that's easy draining your fuel tank.

    Stick a lengh of garden hose through the bung hole, then hook it up to your fuel tank out let. It's a much better flow than going up and over the transom, stick the old stuff in the car if it's only a few gallons.

    Now Billy use a good sealer on those screws that go in to the wood when you mount that vro unit.
    You don't wan't water getting in to the timber and causing Rot.

    Thanks GUTS-

    Re: Tank - I can only see one(1) outlet - and that is on the floor (circular white plastic screw cap. THe hose through bung hole good idea.
