Hi All,<br /><br />I have a '59 Gator trailer that I want to keep and restore since it's the original trailer for the boat and motor.<br /><br />I have two questions about this trailer:<br /><br /> 1) The trailer has a handle, approximately 2 ft long at the left front of the trailer, and when this handle is pulled outward toward the trailer frame it lifts the rear bunks to remove pressure from the rollers and keel. Does anyone know what this feature is called ??<br /><br /> 2) I'll want to change all the bolts, nuts, washers, due to rust, and this includes the bolts that hold the leaf spring shackles. I've never removed leaf springs before, so if I jack up the trailer and remove all weight from the springs, can I remove the shackle bolts without special tools ?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /> Marty
