Boatmate Single Axle Trailer "cartridge in torsion axle has failed"...

Excellent. I was wore out also. I thought getting back on was pretty hard. I hope I don't have to do it again.

2hours 17 minutes, 3 guys in my garage. replaced and taken for a neighborhood ride before putting into the garage for 6 months (thank you ND). wasn't as terrible as I thought..... all three of us were trying to figure when the hard part was coming. we did have some cool tools though

Wow Fargo. Woulda loved to have your crew and tools!
Glad you got it done.

I had your basic tools and no help but still managed. Just took a little longer

Anybody have any tricks to getting trailing arms off of the axle? Have pulled off the caliper, fender and gotten the trailing arm bolt out but can't get that thing to move at all. Have hammered a pry-bar in, sprayed it with silicone and nothing...Any ideas would be much appreciated. Long time since this thread was active but my 07 apparently failed over the winter. I was able to get the axle free of charge from Dexter and Boatmate was a huge help with it all. Contemplated someone else doing it but couldn't drive it anywhere the way it was so thought I would give it a crack.

Hey Team Smith Outback V -- i just discovered my fender resting on the tire, so it looks like i'm in for this job too. What did you figure out to get the trailing arm bolt off?
Thanks
