I cant believe it took them a whole day. I had mine switched out in 3 hrs and that included a beverage break(I don't drink) and a rain delay,while we (my neighbor and I)were installing them. It really dont matter you got the job done. I'm glad I did my own cause it gave me first hand knowledge on how hard it is to make the axle switch NOT.
I'm not sorry we made the switch,we don't have the TP and roll towel UNROLLED all over the floor.The fridge and pantry doors open and stuff all over the floor. I also was using a BLUE OX 4" receiver drop to get the trailer level. After installing the new axles I gained that 4" in height and was able to get rid of the drop and the trailer is level even on our 1 ton.
GOOD INVESTMENT Hard pill to swollow but worth every penny.

It didn't take all day, but he left his trailer with us, all day, while he conducted other things in the area.
