  • Trailer Issue - Spindle...

    My spindle on one of the sides of my trailer was a little reluctant yesterday in releasing the hub & bearing assembly.

    Any suggestions on what to use on the spindle in order to allow the new bearing to slide on & off with ease?


    Someone suggested emery cloth but having never used it nor bought any I have no idea what to look for or how to use it. I'm assuming it's similar to sandpaper without all the grit.

    coe, it is a type of sandpaper. It comes with a flexible, cloth backing that make it much easier to use. just tear off a piece and sand down the area is a sawing type of action(sort of like shining your shoe with a cloth). can be found in any hardware store

      It's also called plumber's sandcloth.

          120 or 240 grit should do it.

            The emory cloth is great-just "polish" like you would a shoe shine rag and sand the heck outta the spindle to get smooth(don't sand forever and weaken it, just trying to make it smooth so new hub/bearings slide on).

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

              Coe,

              You can also find it at any auto parts store, or my house. PM if you would like a piece.
