Heading back to pick up a load of firewood this morning, I look back to see that the trailer had developed the dreaded "extendo-axle." Broken hub bearings.
I haven't looked at it close to see if it is even repairable, but new bearings are $110. The whole trailer isn't worth that much.
You'd think a guy could find an old junk axle out of something but everyone thinks they're worth hundreds of dollars because Jeep guys use 'em in their offroad rigs. "No lowballers. I know what I got."
It's just a firewood trailer. Needs to make one trip to the woods per year, at most. Anybody got a cheap/easy way to keep the wheel from walking out of the axle housing? I tried pouring ATF on it already, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
