Something broke

[SemperFly]

I am not sure what broke, maybe someone can help me. I have a 2 axle trailer, on the back axle where the hub cover would be, is nothing, there is grease splattered all over the wheel. <br />Now I have been told that this is a pretty simple fix to replace the axle and not too expensive.<br />I was also told that I could still pull the boat on the single axle. It just wouldnt be as sturdy.<br />Any of this true?<br /><br />Thanks for your help

Re: Something broke

Got a picture? I am having a hard time understanding. On one hand it sounds as if just the cover came off, on the other it sounds like you are saying the bearings,shaft and all is gone. <br />As far as one axle I would in the yard but not on the road. They sure wouldn't spend the money for 2 axles if one is sufficent.

Re: Something broke

Is it just the bearing cap gone? If it is they can be replaced easy, but I would also clean and repack the bearings. I also agree with Kenneth, I would not pul it except to get it off the road with one axle gone! my $0.02 worth.<br />Richard

Re: Something broke

Thanks for the help all. I think I wound up getting pretty lucky this time. It was only the hub that broke. Went and got a new one with new bearings and all the bells and whistles for $50.<br /><br />thanks again for your time!!<br />John
