Dexter Trailer Idler Axle w/ EZ Lube Hubs Installation

Today on our boat trailer, we're going to be installing the Dexter Idler Axle with EZ Lube hubs. Part# 205451-EZ-72-10. Now, to begin our install, we're first going to go ahead and remove both wheels. Keeping in mind, each process we do here on one side will get repeated identically on the opposite side. If its been a while since you've had the lug nuts off, we're going to go ahead and spray them down with a spray lubricant. I'm also going to go ahead and spray down the Leaf Spring Shackle bolt hardware so the penetrate can start working before we get to actually removing that hardware. more
