Reply To: Boat trailer wheel

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

I suspect that you will have a problem with this one.  I had a small boat trailer that had the 1″ hub-less wheels. I bought the “log Splitter” spare wheel assembly and discovered that the bearing spacing was different. After de-mounting the tire, had a lathe job to re-bore to the correct spacing.  And another recent encounter with an old trailer with rusted out no-hub wheels ended up reworking for 4 bolt hubs and new wheels.  Even that job required making new longer sleeves for the seals, shortening the spindles about 1/2″ and drilling new cotter pin holes.
