The Good . . . This happened down a 2-lane, lake access road just 3 miles after exiting the Interstate
The Bad . . . What are the odds that both spindles would fail at the same time sending both wheels into the ditch
The UGLY . . . Spent 2 days on the shoulder rounding up parts from 35 miles away and installing new axle/hubs

. . . this was only a 33 year old axle pulling a 300# boat . . . WTH?
and, yes, the bearings were well greased

In 2021 my trailer will be 50 years old.
Everything looks good but I might upgrade to a new axle with 1-1/16" bearings.
