Before installing the tires, inspected the wheel bearings, found them to be in poor shape, so it required a trip to the bearing store.
The folks had all but 2 bearings, those were ordered and were picked up on Friday
After hand packing the new bearings, the hubs were reassembled, tires installed
A photo of the axle spindle
Axle and wheel assembly installed
We replaced the 8 inch diameter tires with 12 inch tires, the picture show the dramatic difference in size, I have a phobia about a 8 inch tire spinning super fast, bearings getting hot with small tires.
Also replaced the rollers with strong plastic rollers
Kept the original wench,
added a new rope .
Upon finishing the trailer, rolled it out, winched the Sea Nymph onto the trailer,
she doesn't look so lonely anymore :)
Now it is time to get her ready for the water ....
