We were out last weekend with the boat and trailer at Las Vegas Bay Campground Friday through Monday.
Pulled the boat out of Boulder early afternoon Saturday and seen your boat with the wheel off. My wife and I stopped to see if you needed a hand and got the all good. Wasn't sure your boat and truck combo at the time otherwise we would have just stopped and said hello. Also didn't read this post till last night.
Red Dodge Ram 2500 and Blue Manta Ray..
Just replaced my bearings last week and bought a new hub in order to have a spare one ready to go. Was headed to the lake Sunday the 1st and had them go out just after the 215 and Decatur exit. Not a good place to be working on the drivers side wheel about 5 feet off the highway. Had to call a flat bed and get her home. Same thing with the inner race. Had to torch it and tap it off. Spindle just needed a little file work and the new ones went on. Got a new hub, bearing buddies and two new sets of bearings at Trailer Tech for just about $115. Going set the old hub up as a back up.
Not fun stuff, but better here in town and not on a major trip. Definitely recommend a back up hub kit for any long trips.
Good to hear you made it back.
