Trailer repairs

[lucee81]

Does anyone know of a mobile trailer repair guy or does someone want to go change my springs out of the kindness of their heart.

Hi Lucee81,

I've had some experiance fixing the springs on my boat trailer and believe i can help. It's really quite easy. Tools required - 1 axe, a bit of rope and about 7 beers. Method - 1. Swear and yell a lot. 2. Have a beer. 3. Scratch your head and ponder. 4. Have a beer. 5. Take your frustration out and a nearby, poor, innocent little tree with the aid of your 'Tools required' (above). 6. lash your victim under the boat trailer to hold everything in place. 7. Have a beer while standing back and admiring your handy work.

Well i hope this helps you out with some DIY!

Zac.

I'll change them out of the kindness of my heart for you.
But the tool rental is a killer......

It might be an idea to say which suburb too.

So what your saying finga is if I have the tools already then I'm on a winner.
I go the tools just don't have the time as I work away 3 weeks a month.
Collingwood park.

Bugger. It's not Warwick but it's not far off my way to the big smoke I must say.

And I don't believe in borrowing tools. I have all my own

Crisis adverted I have just been approved for 2 weeks off this stint. As I will be sitting around doing not much else finga your more than welcome to stop by for a iced vovo and a cup of tea. And if your that keen I can always hold off on the trailer till you get there

So when does this 2 week break start ,, Might see if we can do a bit of deep water stuff

[lucee81]

It starts Thursday 13 and goes till Tuesday 24th. A certain ling ling has time off there too.

[lucee81]

Yep me watching ling ling and you do the trailer then I'm all good to go.

Well trailer has new springs, wheel bearings jockey wheel and winch cable and just in time for me to head back to work for 3 weeks.....
Apparently changing springs is easy if you are prepared to cut the old ones out and replace all bolts etc. took about 45 min for the first one and less than 20 min for the second.
After removing the half of spring left in trailer i have learnt rust has been the issue of the day which makes me wonder as the rest of the trailer has no cancer, (this does not include inside RHS).
What do people do to stop rust on brake discs?
Now to sort out my transducer before i send the electronics to Davy's locker....
