Just reading forums with no avail about wobble rollers. If anyone sees this, I have 32 of the smooth 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" black rubber rollers on a 3/4" shaft. There junk, but was curious if I need to replace them with the same, or maybe go with one of them yellow gates ones. My thing is, my ( bearing) i guess you call it, is like 3/16",, Basically a washer inside the roller. These gates ones have a 1 1/2" bearing in them. Which I can cut the old back washer off and weld it back a 1/" to make it fit.

Another question is that do these new rollers come with the sleeves and washers? or not. No listings really state they do.

sounds lijke someone retrofitted your wobble rollers so they don't wobble. "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is." The whole idea of the wobble is to avoid bearings and tight fittings that corrode or swell.

Re: EZ loader wobble rollers replacement

I had a trailer with that type of roller at one time and no, the Yates type rollers will not fit those brackets as designed. The easiest way to remedy is to buy new roller bars if you can retrofit them to the trailer. Otherwise your left with a home remedy or buying the direct replacement parts. You can try removing the back washer and drilling the bar to accept a hog clip as a back stop if you hav enough bar to do that. That is how Loadrite does it.

I took the easy way out. I sold the boat and trailer and made sure I bought a Loadrite trailer the next time around.
