I decided to create a new thread, the other was getting too long...
Well,
I am about to engage in repairing the trailer wheels...
Some of you have said to just replace the hub completely, where do I get those ? Did not see it in Walmart...
Second, how to you go about extracting the bearing racer rings ? Hit them with a brass stick from the opposite side ?
Is there a special tool to extract and insert the race ring ?
Third, The seal that comes with the bearings, which side does that goes, on the rear side of the Hub, closer to the trailer ?
From what I could gather in the dark, seems like the tire that kept locking up just did not have enough spacers, so the luck not would go far enough into the axle and far way enough from the pin that the pin could not prevent it from rotating and then the wheel motion itself will over tighten the lock nut.
I wonder the sequence order of the parts that go in the hub...
Rear side:
The lip on the axle itself that prevents the hub from coming in further.
The bearing seal
The bearing itself
The Bearing race ring.
From the front size:
The Bearing Race ring
The bearing
The Luck nut
The pin
The hub cap
Is that the correct order that this thing should go...
I would say the front size doesn't need the seal due to the Hub Cap which prevents the grease from escaping.
Now the rear side of the hub doesn't have anything to prevent the grease from leaving so that's where the seal should go ?
Side Note:
I have not tried to run the motor yet, but from the trailer experience, think I just got myself a good anchor in the shape of an motor.
I took a closer look at it and the choke button is gone and who know what else this motor is missing.
I was told it was a 1992 motor, but it turns out to be a Mercury/Sears 1988 225.587500
I tried too look more info on it but google did not return much.
I will put a new fuel line, fresh gas, bucket of water and give it a try to see if it turns on...
