Lousy lil tinnie..took it to Caloundra a couple of weeks back. Noticed a bit of noise from the trailer on the way home...did not worry about it then. This morning I decide I might have to do something about that noise in the trailer.

Went down..lifted the trailer onto some blocks..lo and behold..bearings were stuffed (but I knew that)...one of the wheels had split from the hub out. Amazing how things heat up expand and break connecting items when no grease evident. They don't call me Mr Maintenance for nothing.

Oh well..time for some new wheels and bearings..I might even lash out and put some grease in there also.

Sometimes crappy/cheap bearings are used on trailers, and they screw up. Had the same problem a while back. >:( :'(

Will check my bearings this weekend while the weather is no good and re pack them.
