Replacement Pal Nut for 5/8" Steel Roller Shaft - Qty 1

by: Dean A06/24/2017

Hi Etrailer.
What happened to George who wrote me about this about a year ago. Anyway you will figure it out.
This has been a slow project because I am an old retired guy living on a surfing beach way down in Mexico. I brought all the parts from you down in my truck about two years ago. All the parts came from you and the steel and paint I bought here in Mexico. I built the trailer in my shop here and had to modify it several times to fit the strange requirements we have for launching off the beach with waves. I never seem to remember to take the camera or my phone to the beach to show that procedure but it is a little involved compared to a tilt trailer on a boat ramp. If I back the trailer into the water the wave action washes the sand out from under the trailer tires and the quad tires and them I am stuck. I have to launch in the hard sand just inland from the waves and parallel to them. The trailer can only tilt until the rear cross member is just above the sand or I cannot pull the trailer out from under the boat with the 500 lb. Honda 4WD quad. We put pieces of 2 inch black irrigation plastic tubing about 6 feet long under the boat as it is coming down off of the trailer as it is pulled out. This gives us old guys the chance to push the boat 90 degrees until it faces the waves. We wait for some larger waves to roll up under the boat and then we push it into the water and away we go when we find a lull in the incoming waves. We use the boat to get to surfing spots and then fish on the way home. The trailer pictures I am sending are showing the tilt stop that is not quite in use as I am just running the engine in my drive way. The fat little tires are for the sand.
If this project is of interest to you I have some pictures showing the construction of the trailer that better show some of your hardware. I will also try to remember the camera the next time we launch. Our waves are bigger in the summer time so we will have to wait for a small surf day to play with the boat.
Everything that happens here in Mexico is slow and there was some spine surgery that also slowed things down a bit. But a year later I am still surfing and playing with the boat.
That's my story and sorry to be so slow.

Quick delivery for a critical part I ne eded1659792

Exactly what I needed. Last year, I bought a [trash can] from [hardware store]. It's a fantastic product, but it uses 5/8" pal nuts to hold the wheels on the axle.

When one became dislodged and lost, my trash can was out of commission. A trip to [hardware store] and [industrial supplies company] was unsuccessful, and [trash can brand] only offered entire wheel kits for their products. etrailer saved the day by carrying these and selling them in small quantities.686818

etrailer.com had everything I needed to replace critical parts for my 34ft. cruiser boat trailer. Reasonable prices and Wow SUPER FAST shipping!! I ordered YATES keel pads, keel rollers, bow rollers, roller end caps, pal nuts, and galvanized square U-bolts. All items were well packaged in one box. It's my second order from etrailer.com, very easy to navigate their inventory. One stop shopping. Absolutely will buy form etrailer again.

All the parts are working great!

Item as listed, exact match and fit for my application which was for a hand truck wheel replacement project448706

Very good, just what I needed. I would suggest that anyone replacing their trailer rollers, go ahead and spend the extra $ to replace the roller shafts; I wish I had. I saved over $40 by purchasing this product, and so far I am thoroughly pleased . I plan to pass the word around to those who have older and saltwater trailers. Boat practically loads itself now, and no more black streaks on the gel coat.680064

I purchased (2) 5/8" plated Pal nuts (aka: cap nuts) to assemble the replacement axle on my trash can and they worked flawlessly. This is a high-quality fastener and I personally recommend.213834

Product good , well made part. The only exception is that the cap nuts came off, Bought new and took to a machine shop where I had them drilled and I installed with cotter pins650166

Small but significant part, but couldn't find this size locally. Quickly located at etrailer.com, purchase and shipment was easy and fast. Will definitely keep etrailer on my 1st place to look next time.

THANKS :)227606

Simple boat trailer parts, but self centering keel roller was something I didn't think about and will be very helpful. Parts are for a custom boat haul out station, not a trailer, and the design is unique and intricate for adverse conditions on Lake Ontario. What I received will work very well to finish the project. I was very impressed by the speedy delivery. I was thinking it would be nice if the UPS truck would come and he arrived 15 minutes later as I was heading out to work on the project. Thank you for the attention and followup. I may go into production of this design and I will certainly order for Etrailer.com. Jim52201

Great product. I was unable to find this in the right size at the hardware stores. I needed this nut to repair a wheel on a rather pricey trash can. Thank you for making this available at such a great price with really low shipping!325664

The axle caps arrived a couple of days after I placed the order, and worked just fine. I recommend etrailer based on the excellent service and communication that I had with the company during the sale. great work!568054

Needed these for a moving dolly. Tried local hardware store (Lowes) not the correct size and Amazon too expensive. Etrailer had the correct size and pricing was great. 239961

Excellent experience. Order was processed and shipped within 24 hours. Parts received a couple days later. Quality parts at a competitive price, delivered in a very short period of time.
I will definitely consider buying future parts I need, from E-Trailer.337859

Absolutely high-quality steel compared to the ones I purchased a few weeks ago, which were made of just cheap recycled galvanized steel.22769

Metal seems to be pretty strong. Used on my Keel roller shaft. 95294

Just what I needed to put the wheel back on to my trash can. Now I can finally take out the months worth of trash that's piled up in my house. 597190

Perfect for my application - to hold a replacement wheel on the axle of my yard waste cart.318211
