Time to paint the trailer. I sanded all of the pieces that I removed from the trailer yeaserday. Then I used a black primer since we decided to go with a black trailer. I removed the pins that hold in most of the rollers and removed them from their brackets. I will clean them later and decide if I want to replace them or not. After that, the hubs came in from UPS. I put one together to test the fit, and it didn't. The bearing sixe is right, but the hub is too long for the axle shaft. I called Champion Trailers and asked them about it. They said that I have a hub that is no longer available and I will either have to replace the axle, use my old hubs or find some donor hubs. I elected to try toi salvage my old hubs. I used their bearing pack and my hubs. I am not to confident in this setup so I will keep a close eye on them. In the meantime, I will be looking for some donor hubs. Finally, I mounted the new tires on the trailer.
