Tip: When you are messing with your bearings, take a quick look at the weld that joins the spindle to the axel. Especially if it is an older trailer. They can crack and break. Maybe not that common but it happened to me. Fortunately it gave way when I was pushing the boat around on the driveway. So I get home and when rolling the boat by hand it breaks. I felt lucky!
