Trailer bearing blowout. Need help with repair(s)

[jimmbo]

Don't be so certain that is any different on the water, Morons are Texting while Steering the Boat, and often have NO Clue regarding Right of Way

I think you will agree that Weekends have better Entertainment at the Launch though

I still howl at the guy backing in full speed with the boat stern straps still tight. YYEEEEHAWWWW

As a motorcyclist for decades I have learnt to treat all others on the road as idiots ........paid off countless times .

At least idiots of days gone by did not typically drive on the wrong side of the road with their face buried in a worthless hunk of silicon oxide.
Once that started happening, I decided it was time to retire the helmet which I had worn for almost 40 years.
These fools nowadays just ruin everything for everybody.

Trailers need regular maintenance....in the old days, we had to manually clean, repack and adjust the front wheel bearings of our rear-drive vehicles every 30,000 miles, often if you had drum brakes you'd try to do the bearings and brakes at the same time so as to not have to get back into it again.
I use the super lube system with the tin caps and rubber plugs, but for extra protection I slide a bearing buddy over the tin cap, that really keeps water out. Smear a little marine grease around the cap, slide on the cover and it's as water tight as you can make it....

My idiot was reversing back up other side of a humpty hill .....weaving side to side when I came over the hill and slammed into him at about 80mph . This guy had already killed someone else ( his widow came to visit me in hospital ) driving like a complete arse. Damn near killed me .

Holeee smokes! That's crazy!
I guess that's one good thing about not having any 80MPH speed limits on roads around here. If we did, I would have most certainly done it when I was a kid.
Glad you survived!

Oh the speed limit is only 100km/h ( 60mph) but , Sunday am, nice winter day , Ducati 900ss . Its been 16 years since but Im still more pissed at loosing that bike than I am about loosing my leg .

Ouch! I think I remember reading about you writing about that. I've been lurking a few (lol) years but haven't started posting anything since lately getting back into boating steady.

I’ve ridden motorcycles my whole adult life. Total of 49 years to date. Have made multiple coast to coast rides. In all that time I have hit three deer, and didn’t get injured. I ride as if every person on the road is out to hit me. More nuts than ever out there. I’ll admit in my younger days I took way too many chances. Not anymore. I ride a bike with a sidecar these days.

We thought about a sidecar (and Spyders ) , it would be real practical ....but , this probly sounds dumb but I have had so much taken away from me and at the moment I can still ride my Guzzi and adding a third wheel would be giving up on something else.
I use my quad ( petrol powered all terrain disabled mobility vehicle ) a lot and Im lucky in that the local cop is happy to leave me to ride round the village or down to the river as long as I dont abuse the privilege .

I get where you’re coming from. I will say the sidecar is a blast. Loads of fun, especially with grandkids. On a good day I can hop on one of my old bikes I gave my kids and go for a two wheel blast.,
