Trailer bearing help needed (they don't want to go on...)

Good job!. Those are great little trailers.....surprised to see red paint, they usually turn pink in less than a year!

You could use speedi sleeves to repair the seal surface.

Thanks, I'll try to find some for next time I have the hub off.

Someone might have rattle canned it at some point, at least they did with the fenders (you can see the overspray in the beer pic). Or maybe they painted them better back in 1985? The trailer itself is flimsy as hell. I folded it up for the first time today because (finally!) after being in this house for 3.5 years I don't foresee hauling any junk for a while. It seems like it can barely hold itself up while folded. But, it gets the job done!
