etrailer Single Axle Trailer Fender with Backing Plate Installation Video

The minimum distance between the inside of a tire and the frame rail depends a lot on the setup of the trailer. But as long as the tire and the frame don't touch you would be fine. It's hard to give an exact figure as trailer setups can vary…

I can understand that if your boat is loaded on the trailer, you don't want to remove one of the wheels to measure the fenders. Measuring a fender with the tire still mounted can be tricky, but it's not impossible. I've provided a diagram…

Trailer wheel bearings are specific to the spindle that is installed on the axle that is on your trailer. You will need to safely support the trailer, remove the wheel and tire, remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and washer that secures the…

I will start by sating that the wheels/tires on the trailer you are looking at do look kind of undersized. So you definitely can stay with a 13" set up like the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D #AM10208 and Dexstar…

The most common tire size people go to from the 4.80-12 is the 5.30-12 like the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire #TT53012C. This will give you a width increase of 1/2 inch and a diameter increase of 1.4 inches. This tire also has a speed rating…

The closest metric trailer tire size to a 4.80x12 is going to be a 145/80-12. The typical diameter of a 4.80x12 tire is 20.5 inches. On a 145/80-12, it is 21.3 inches. So the metric size will be a little over 1/4 inch taller. Make sure to measure the…

Feel free to send me the pictures you have via email. If one side of the suspension hangers doesn't have a shackle setup you'll need to install some so that suspension can extend as it compresses. Otherwise it won't function well since…

Yes you certainly can. In order to bolt-on a set of metal weld-on fenders such as the Single Axle Trailer Fender part #HP29VR you will need a set of mounting brackets such as the Mounting Brackets for Trailer Fender part #CE26098G-2. If you do not…

From the measurement you provided, the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 4" Rise - 10" Long - 2,000 lbs #3594 will definitely get you as close to level as possible. The Draw-Tite 1-7/8" Hitch Ball #19256 would then complete…

The Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease part #L11380 16-oz tub will be enough to pack the wheel bearings and grease the spindle on your travel trailer. I have attached a helpful article for your reference about packing the bearings. The…

It's not common for the spindle number to be printed anywhere on the axle. That said, if you're looking for new bearings/races and seals all you need to do is note the capacity or measure. The easiest method would be to crawl under the…

For a 9/16 inch shackle bolt such as #TRFA73Z916DLNZ you will want 65 to 95 foot pounds of torque. Provided that you are within that range you won't over-torque the nuts. A little bit of play is expected but large gaps could be taken up using…
