I've searched this forum and can't see any similar questions, so here goes. I have a 1987 roller trailer. Its past time to replace the rollers. At first glance, they appear to be a standard 4 3/8 inch Yates wobble roller with 3/4 shaft. I bought 16 from EasternMarine (great folks) and went to replace them. When I took the first one off, I found that it has a nylon bushing that runs through the shaft of the roller and the end of the bushing (almost looks like a washer) also serves to shorten the length of the exposed shaft, so with the safety pin in, there is very little play in the roller. I haven't used any _large_ tools yet, but can't figure out how to get that nylon bushing out, it looks like one piece. I'm pretty certain the roller was not built that way, but I"m stumped and dont want to bust one up til I figure out what to do. Anyone know if it should unscrew or just pull apart with more force?
