Glad it helped you out 👍
Great tips Mike and I have learnt something today about trailer bearings even though I don’t have one always good to learn something new thanks!
The front wheel bearings on your car are the exact same deal. I have changed plenty of wheel bearings on both trailers and cars over the years. Problem is it's getting hard to find quality bearings these days. Anything made in China is garbage and will not last. Had Chinese bearings fail after 12 months while my box trailer has had the same bearings for 15 years without problems. Same with bearings on lawn mower spindles.
@@MikesManCave Yes unfortunately its becoming harder to find anything made of any sort of quality these days the future isn't looking to great if the world keeps following the path we are currently on 😒 Cheers!
@@Mick_Au Path to self destruction, lets hope 2022, will bring us better luck.
@@MikesManCave We can only hope MIke :)
"Split pin"? The terms you people come up with instead of calling things what they are. By the way, here's a little secret.. the cotter pin is suposed to be split. One side goes over the end of the axle shaft, cutting off any extra that sticks out. The other end folds back against the castle nut. Effectively stopping any chance of play in the nut, which would allow it to back off..
Come on "mate", if you're gonna take the time to make you tube videos, you might as well show people how to do it right. Even if it is just a simple tightening of a nut.
I don't come up with the 'terms', split pin is what it has been called for as long as I have been alive. I have been doing it like this for 50 years and it has never been an issue.
Clearly you don't have any idea to properly adjust a wheel bearing. Bearings that use grease as a lubricant must have .001" to .005" end play. Stop spreading false information.
Only been doing it for 45 years without a single failure, wheel bearings been in my trailer that gets used serval times week for only 20 years, so I guess I can always learn from your vast experience, or I could just keep going the way I am since I could not find your expert wheel bearing adjustment video. By the way educated people stopped using inches as a form of measurement in the early 70's.
It seemed to tight, you do not need a wrench for trailor wheel bearings. The only part you need a wrench for is installing bran new full wheel bearing assemblys to set bearing the race's. Also what do you mean educated people quit using inches in the 70's? That tells me your not that educated. It's a measurement that is still used, different companies, people, country's, ect still use inches and most wheel bearing manufacturers do say it in thousandths just like he said up top here, they say 001" to 005". You should be able to move the nut with your finger even after you put the cotter pin in. A tiny bit of play is what you want. Hard to tell in the vid but yours lookd fine to begin with.
@@MikesManCave LOL Hilarious. Flexing the metric muscle on us Muricans!!! haha
