I am happy to see you and your son working together. I did the same thing with my 3 sons and in time they became the teachers and all i had to do was watch. You have a great day.
Thank you Donovan and Eli for sharing this. I am glad you had Eli to help you. He is a good young man. You thought him well. That was very interesting to me. I learn new things all the time. I hope the charter went well. Love and Blessings Doris 🇦🇺🦘
Fishing Charter captain here, just bent an axle and a rim at a sketchy boat ramp, I feel your pain. Looking forward to pulling hubs and axle up here in Tennessee in Late January cold (yeah) let alone the cost of axles these days. Folks just don't appreciate how much work and cost is involved in operating a charter. I need me a good 15 year old helper! Suggestion, use a piece of 2x4 when hammering on the trailer grease caps, it will not bend them and the force is even instead of at a single point. Otherwise, the methods you used were great, safe, not sketchy.
Thanks Markybob, good suggestion. Best of luck with your cold weather repair, hope you have a shop or garage to do repair in. Stay warm! Hope the video helped.
Here's an early welcome home. I live in Tulsa but I own a place at Tenkiller. I love that lake even if it was 32" above normal this Spring. Over the last 45 years, I've fished all of the lakes around NE Ok. I use to hunt Skiatook Lake area before it was a lake and after they filled it, had a blast fishing there.
WOW, I would love to meet up with you at some point when I get back to Oklahoma and pick your brain about the area. The west side of Tulsa is new to me but I know all about Fort Gibson Lake. I grew up there. Thanks for the early welcome. Be there soon. Maybe we can get together and catch some crappie together.
More than likely but I did take mine to a welder to get the tabs welded on. There are little square plates welded to the axles that the springs little nipple drops into. You wanna check and make sure of that. But if you take the old axle and the new axle to a welder they can get you fixed up. But yes it’s that easy.
I was reading this on a parts web site “ Some of our Painted Steel Trailer Axles come with Pre-Mounted Spring Seats for specific measurements. The Axles listed without pre-mounted spring seats will include the spring seats for you, the customer to weld to your specific measurements. It is very important that you do not weld your spring seats outside the range listed. Using an axle to long may cause a leverage issue, leading to pre-mature bending or damaging to the ends of the axle. An axle that is to short will cause the tires to rub on the frame of the trailer.”
Good job but I don't think the bearing nuts are tight enough without a little bit more preload and then spin it and add a touch and you won't have any lose bearings
Yes I am! originally born in Tahlequah, but hoping to find a place near Skiatook Lake. Will be staying in Coweta once we arrive in July for a couple months with my Sister. Cant wait to be an Okie again.
If you go back through the video we replace every bolt exactly as it was removed so if you can reverse engineer what we did you will have the answer on how to unscrew stall it. Just do what we did in reverse. It’s all up close and detailed, the install is anyways. Sorry we didn’t film the removal. Hope it helps.

Thank you sir, you too.
Good Job Donavan, teaching Eli life lessons and working together. Team work 👍
Makes the dream work!!
It is nice to see you working with your son so he can learn.
Have to now days. Thanks for watching.
So good to see you and Eli working together 😊
Thanks mom.
Great vlog, I really enjoyed it. Eli looks like a fine young man.
I’m so glad you made this video. I learned something new.
I’m glad it was able to help you in some way. God Bless, best of luck on your trailer repair.

Thanks Doris it went fine, now that the axle was fixed. Thanks for watching.

@@TeamTateOutdoors Donovan, I'd be glad to meet up with you when you get here. I sent you an email with my info.
@@lakebum6211 I sent you one back. Look forward to it. Thanks for the support.
hi ks, just like a boat, spend as much time working on them as using them, Eli I know dad enjoyed the time with you. Good job.
Thanks Mark.
It looked lool Elii was great help for you. If knew any gjrls around Elii's age. I will let you know. God bless you and your family.....❤🙏❤🙏❤😊🙂😀
The struggles of homeschooling. No girls!! lol
will be VERY helpful if you show how did you setup jack stands and lift (never done this before) because im planning also to replace axle
Put jack and a large piece of wood under frame on one side and raise it up and place stand under the frame. Repeat on other side.
Good job
Thank you. We try!
You just upped Eii's value to the ladies. He will save so much money doing hs own repair work that his wife will have lots of trinkets.
Yes she will and yes he will.
Great Video!
I have a bad spindle , So If I get the same exact Axel for my boat it’s really just the bolts and brackets ?
gives me confidence
More than likely but I did take mine to a welder to get the tabs welded on. There are little square plates welded to the axles that the springs little nipple drops into. You wanna check and make sure of that. But if you take the old axle and the new axle to a welder they can get you fixed up. But yes it’s that easy.
I have also heard of some really good welders that can weld a new spring ndle on to your old axle but worse case scenario you can replace whole axle.
Interesting ,
I was under the impression the New axels would come with those brackets already mounted on .
I was reading this on a parts web site
“ Some of our Painted Steel Trailer Axles come with Pre-Mounted Spring Seats for specific measurements. The Axles listed without pre-mounted spring seats will include the spring seats for you, the customer to weld to your specific measurements.

@@patrickcotter945 make sure you measure it exactly where they say to measure from and too. Best of luck getting it replaced. You can do this!!
Just had to do this at the boat ramp a few weeks ago. Unexpected $320 DIY project and no boat day.
That sucks, I’ve actually had to replace one in an advanced auto parking lot before too. Its way better when it’s in your own drive way.
You only needed to replace a Spindle, not the entire Axle. Cut it off at the broken weld and weld or have a new one welded on.
No time for all that.
Good job but I don't think the bearing nuts are tight enough without a little bit more preload and then spin it and add a touch and you won't have any lose bearings
I have always been told not to tighten the bearing nut too tight. But all good info. thanks
When you move are you going to keep doing some kinds of bow fishing?
Yes, we will be bowfishing in Oklahoma and around the other states.
What part of Oklahoma? Aren’t you originally from Oklahoma? Heard about you moving from Daniel. Good luck in your move, stay safe.
Yes I am! originally born in Tahlequah, but hoping to find a place near Skiatook Lake. Will be staying in Coweta once we arrive in July for a couple months with my Sister. Cant wait to be an Okie again.
How much does that axle replacement cost?
I can’t remember how much that axle cost me.
Depends on length
why don’t you show broken axle and how to remove it?
The axle broke at the spindle, it was bent so we removed it.
