Removing trailer rollers
« on: March 08, 2010, 01:29:02 PM »
 How are rollers on a trailer attached? I see a clip in the back which I assume has to be removed.
Any help appreciated.  slt

I have a load-rite trailer. Mine has a Hog nose clips on the front and back. The Hog nose needs to be removed to remove the roller.  Channel lock and larger screw driver will do the trick.  The bend easy.  Make sure they aren't frozen in  before you spread the apart or they could off in the hole.

 I take it the clips are soft enough to spread with the screwdriver and squeeze them back together with the channel locks. If I have that wrong let me know!!

Thanks!!

spray some WD-40 in there prior to removal. It helped me.

Sometimes the ends in the arm can be rusted so you may want to have a few spares on hand.  They do come in a couple of sizes and hardness. I generally get them and the washers from Camp Marine in pt Pleasant.
