Replacing Trailer Wheel Hubs without Seeking the Help of a Mechanic
Trailers might not have a set of engines on them, given that they’re simply being pulled by a vehicle, but that doesn’t mean that you can dismiss taking care of its own set of wheels, particularly if you plan on bringing along heavy things such as a boat. When taking care of your trailer’s tires, it’s important to be mindful of its hubs, which connect the wheels to the trailer’s axle and facilitate its spinning action. Improper care of these parts, if they’re not correctly installed or begin to corrode, might cause serious damage to both your trailer and the vehicle, and even the objects you’re carrying. Your trailer’s wheel hubs greatly affect your trailer’s performance, and experts recommend replacing them at least once a year depending on the size of your trailer and the frequency of its use. Replacing trailer wheel hubs might seem like a tall order, but it’s actually easy to do without having to seek the help of a mechanic and spending more on your part.

Well-Maintained Electric Trailer Brakes Protect You from Accidents
Whether it’s a trailer to haul your boat or some cargo, one of the most important trailer parts you have to pay special attention to are the brakes. Being able to properly stop your trailer is integral to your safety. When you’re towing a trailer, you’re usually pulling on thousands of pounds; you wouldn’t want all that weight to keep on moving forward when you step on your brakes. Depending on your towing vehicle’s brakes alone will not be enough to stop your trailer; having functional brakes on your trailer will greatly help in slowing down your vehicle. Trailer brakes are typically classified into two: electric types and surge types. Basic electric trailer brakes are activated by either a connection to your towing vehicle’s brake pedal or an on-board switch on your trailer that’s activated by the inertia of your slowing down. Once activated, an electric current magnetizes your braking system, the strength of which is dependent on how fast you are decelerating.

Ensure Your Boating Trips Are Trouble-Free with Trailer Maintenance
Bearings Well-maintained boat trailer bearings are another part of ensuring your trailer is in good condition. Ball bearings can be found in your wheels and they ensure that your trailer wheels are functioning properly. Usually packed in the wheel hub with lubricants, ball bearings ensure that you can tow your trailer smoothly and lowers the friction caused by your boat’s weight; without it, your trailer would grind down to a halt due to your boat’s weight. Replace and apply lubricant to these bearings when necessary, especially if they start to become noisy. Brakes Another important part to be aware of are the brakes on your trailer. You’ll want your trailer to stop at the same time as your towing vehicle so as to avoid any accidents. Furthermore, faulty brakes can cause friction in your wheel bearings, resulting in serious and costly damage. Check the brake fluid in your trailer to see if it is at the right level and see to it that the brake lines are not leaking.

Are
you getting ready for a fishing trip out at the lake? You need a
trusty boat trailer winch to secure your vessel for the drive. To

Galvanized Boat Trailer Axle Prevents Corrosion
Sea
water acts as the major catalyst for corrosion of boat trailer axles.
The trailer parts, wheel and hubs fill up with salt water as you
launch your boat off the shore. Although the hubs drain once you’ve
pulled your boat trailer out of the water, this doesn’t free your
trailer parts from corrosion, which is aggravated by exposure to air.

Of Trailer Wheel Hubs and Wrenches: Maintenance Tips for Boat Trailers
The life of a competitive angler is not an easy one, especially on the pocket. One would be splurging a hefty sum on gear to include in his tackle box—the finest baits, lines, and rods money could buy. However, an angler’s life doesn’t begin and end with his fishing gear alone; among everything he has, it wouldn’t be wise to not have his own boat and its accompanying trailer to aid him. The boat itself is obviously one of the topmost concerns when it comes to maintenance. After all, it’s the vehicle that can get its owner out to the best spot in the water—but what about the trailer that carries it? Regular visits to a leading trailer parts store like Champion Trailers to purchase quality parts and accessories, as well as consistent maintenance practices should never be ignored. As About.com writer Tom Locchaas notes, “Routine inspections and maintenance keep your trailer safe and working and can extend its life for many years.”
