Axles....great fit !
Thanks to Colin Hyde, I am starting out with new axles, drums, brakes, bearings, etc.
The axles fit like a glove ! Thank you Colin !
Project was on one hand fairly easy in that there were only 8 bolts involved but also difficult because the old bolts had to be cut off. (I have a torch)Installing the new ones was fairly easy, once they were dragged under the trailer thru Florida sand & shell. It was a matter of jacking into place & installing the bolts. One other minor problem was the supplied lock nuts were impossible to install by me ...couldn't get enough leverage while lying on the ground. Changed them to standard nuts with a standard lock washer and then had a neighbor weld the nut to the bolt. Also, its important to face the bolts that go behind the shocks IN so there is clearance for the shocks. (Found this out the hard way.) I do not think this job is for everyone, as it required some brute strength (friends) and some heavy duty tools. I am pleased with the final outcome !
