| Wheels off for evaluation |
The fixer upper trailer is now in the shop. Old wheels off for now and time to evaluate the state of the hubs and brakes...Good news is that the hubs/bearings look to be usable for the trip to Eugene and back. The unfortunate part is that there will be no brakes for this trip as a part of the trailer. The remains of the brake pads crumbled off and water & insects have seen to the demise of the mechanism.
I have been reading up on mobile home axles and now see why they are not a good long term solution for a trailer that gets regular use. After the boat renovation is complete, the plan is to refit the springs with new axles and brakes.
