Trailer maintenance
Doing some major maintenance on my trailer and decided to share some of my experiences so far
First, further to a recent post about removing stuck pistons, a picture showing my setup in action
Next, my reasons for never buyong anything galvanised if stainless is available. I have had the slides that stuck that only an oxy torch could remove them resulting in their destruction anyway
This picture shows the stainless slide completely clean and ready to be re-inserted wheras the non stainless was rusted and partly stuck. Was difficult to remove and will have to be sanded clean and the bore will have to be cleaned and honed
Lastly the moving part of the slide
This picture shows the moving arm and the seal grove which will have to be completelycleaned and sanded to make it servicable.
After the last few years of trailer maintenance I would strongly recommend anyone buying a new trailer to spend the extra $$$ and go stainless.
Hope article not too long and boring
Cheers
Eric
Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly
