Hey all:
With cooler weather coming, I'm starting to plan my winter maintenance projects. One of them is to pull the wheels and hubs off the trailer holding the 12' jon boat. I know that I will need new rear seals when I check, clean and repack the bearings, but how do I tell what size hub I have, and correspondingly, what size seals I will need? The trailer is a really old Karavan model and I'm not even sure of the model name. Can I just measure the diameter of the axle? While I'm at it, I might also check the PT175's Trailstar Trailer. How do I find those hub sizes as well? In case you can't tell, this will be my first time pulling hubs off of ANY trailer! Figured I might as well learn on the smaller, cheaper trailer first! Thanks in advance for any help.
