I noticed a week ago one of my boat's trailer tires was loose. It was because the bearing is worn out. Luckily I caught it in time. I took the hub off, and pulled the bearigns out so I could match thme up. I went to Bass Pro and found what I needed- and proceeded to chunk the old ones (ina ziplock baggie) in the trash... Well I got back and got it all back together MINUS the spindle nut,nut cover, and washer..... it happened to be in that stupid ziplock baggie I chunked in the trash at Bass Pro. I hurried up and got cleaned up and went back to the Garland Bass Pro, except they had already emptied the trash can!!! DANGIT!!! THEY ARE TOO CLEAN!! LOL!! I thought no big deal.... well- until I spent all saturday, sunday, and half of monday looking for one.... NOWHERE, including NAPA autoparts have the correct nut ( thread count per inch is where the problem lies).... I finally got smart enough to call EZ LOADER trailers and spent a matter of seconds with the lady on the phone!!! I was thumping my own noggin!!!!! DUH!!! she sent one free of charge...
SO the moral is- DONT BE KEWL AND THROW AWAY PARTS LIKE YOU ARE A PRO or something.... LOL!!!

Ronnie,
Always keep your old parts until you are completely finished with a job. You never know what you will need.

True, Michael, that's what my wife tells me....

we find new things every day, and scratch out heads and go, "what did that come off, or when did we get that?"
