[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5531316, member: 2805"] Some updates... Trailing arms on the trailer were in terrible shape... posted on the general forum for advice... didn't really know how to tackle them without damaging the splines on the axle too bad, so I took the rig to a local trailer place and they were able to grind them off the axle in 3 pieces and replace with new arms. Wasn't counting on having to pay for labor on this project, but I learned a decade ago... if I'm going to say more than 3 cusswords and throw 2 tools during a project, it's worth paying someone else to do it... unfortunately, part.of the deal was they got the income from pulling the bearings, inspecting, and repacking with new seals... they said they wouldn't leave their shop unless they did that themselves. Personally, I would have replaced the bearings, but they said the grease was perfect, bearings were perfect, and no need to replace them (I guess this was the one thing prior owner did maintenance wise)... so... $650 later, and I have nice shiny trailing arms and the trailer axle itself is in good condition per the shop and needs no replacement ( I was considering just replacing everything, but the torsion axle is custom and there is a 8w wait for Dexter to make a new custom one).
