Most acrylic coatings of paint will adhere directly to cleaned galvanized steel like what the wheel part # AM3S560 has without the use of primer. As long as the rim is clean you would be okay to paint it.

I reached out to EZ Loader to verify the correct parts for your boat trailer. They informed me it uses the Bearing #L44649 for both inner and outer and a grease Seal #34823 with a 1.249" inner diameter. The CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly…

First things first; you can determine the specs on your current axle by checking for a sticker or plate attached to the axle itself (you'll usually find it close to the center of the axle). But with that being said, in the event that you…

We have just what you need based on the inner diameters of the bearings of your hub. If your hub has 4 wheel studs you would want the part #AKIHUB-440-2-2K or if your hub has 5 wheel studs you would want the part #AKIHUB-545-2-2K.

I can help you with greasing up your EZ Lube Axle. First thing I would check would be that the grease is not coming out of the back of the axle through the seal. If this is the case you will need to replace the seal. Our tubes like #L11390 have 14…

Answer 12

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
