Tried to go fishing today. Got about halfway to the ramp and I start hearing a grinding noise. I have a 45% hearing loss and can not hear very well. When I do it usually cost more money on whatever breaks.
I stop and walk back to the trailer to feel the spindles. Driver side was HOT! So I said screw it, it is already bad. I got to the ramp and unhooked the trailer and started to take it apart. Only thing left was the races. on the outer bearing. Got the back off and could not see any #'s on it to see what I needed. Went back to town to Autozone to get a new set. Get back to the boat and put in the new bearing and seal on the back side and then try to slip it on.
NOPE!
He gave me a 1" bearing and I need 1 1/16" Called all around town and no one had any. So I remembered a small engine repair shop I was in a few weeks ago. I seen they had some bearings on the wall. YEP! they had them.
I hate working on stuff like this along the road. I ordered 2 complete hubs so I don't have to look for stuff for a while to come.
