[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 419960, member: 21309"] I wouldn't see why you couldn't replace the shaft with an appropriately sized bolt with washers and a nyloc nut or a second jam-nut; you'd just have to make sure that you didn't tighten it too far down on the roller bracket since you want the shaft and the roller to turn freely. One other concern might be the nuts freezing on with rust and being impossible to remove if you need to make a replacement in the future, but if you have a cut-off wheel then it's not a huge issue...or use stainless. However, you can purchase the roller shafts and pal nuts online at a variety of retailers relatively inexpensively, below is a link to a set on Amazon: [url]https://www.amazon.com/Tie-Down-86032-Trailer-Roller/dp/B003E1ZIFO/ref=sr_1_1[/url] [/QUOTE]
