Hi all , decided to get motivated and check ( buddy ) bearings on the tinny trailer . Jacked it up and found 1 side had a small amount of play the other none . Proceeded to take them apart to check for wear and to possibly replace or repack grease . Upon doing so , I discovered the side with a bit of play had the normal two shoulders on the spindle yet the opposite spindle just one .. Time for a beer break as I had to ponder .. any excuse , anyway currently thinking it might be a factory fault as both rear bearings sit flush at the first shoulder it just takes a little encouragement to get the rear plastic seal on the single shoulder side .

I've taken a pic of the worst bearing and the rear seals looked fine but I'll replace all those anyway .. off to Martins Trailers tomorrow for bits .

Questions - Thoughts on axle spindle

                 - How much if any play is acceptable ? as the bearings and hub races didn't look too bad .

                 - There was grease spatter inside both rims , I presume from over filling yet both rear seals are intact in good condition ?

Doing my apprenticeship on the tinny then I'll do the bigger trailer , so any advice would be much appreciated .. Please find some pics for your perusal .

Thanks in advance , regards Chris
