How to Fix a "flipped axle" in real time

[@bakervinci163]

It happened on my tandem boat trailer. This is the only video that addresses it

[@1961OLDSCHOOL]

Pry bar? Dangerous tip good sir….floor Jack approved for sure, broken bodies are a common “pry at/tire iron” outcome. I’m just trying to aid the instruction and I thank you for such an informative video, keep up the good work 👍

Horrible design....I can't even believe trailer manufacturers in the US never use a stopper on the frame to prevent overtravel of the equalizer.

[@Obamaistoast2012]

First off that shackle set up is wrong, the the leading end of the spring should be attached directly to the frame mount or a rocker box, this set up dose not hold the axle in place from moving back and fourth.

[@edbeck8925]

Put your bolts on the other way, heads on the inside, nuts on the outside..
Then if a nut falls off and the bolt backs out, it won't damage a tire.

Centre axle should not have 2 shackles. A special equalizer is needed for triple axle set up, otherwise that axle will be all over the place.

[@bakervinci163]

If the shackle screw is too tight it’s hard to flip back

[@bakervinci163]

Loosening the shackle screws can help

I'd probably just take the bolts out and but the chackles in there proper location.

Wouldn’t it be better to unbolt one side?

Iv never seen an 8 lug axle on a double eye leaf spring suspension. I’m use to seeing the slipper sets ups. Is there a benefit for building one like this? Are those light duty slings or something? I love my slipper style springs and equalizer because they don’t do this. I always hated when my little dual axle trailer did this.

How much tension is on the shackle bolts? Could you have taken off one bolt, and flip the leaf springs into the proper position. And reinstall the lone bolt? You probably need two Jack's, and one jack stand.

2 shackles for one spring? Seems like the middle axle would be all over the place designed like that

[@adamsorell4851]

Thats how tri axles are set up. The outer spring eyes wont have straps

[@carlosmora4207]

Casi no pueden🙈🙈

[@tims7887]

Hey guys, is there a video showing the fix for the thread lock fix you were talking about on the bolts that might back out? Thanks

[@technology_pro]

Just remove the bolts, put thread lock on them and reinstall

[@NicholasLittlejohn]

No Chinese house jacks, please!

[@jamesmay5394]

Please NO ONE TRY THIS AT HOME. using a pry bar can result in serious injury. Watch another video
This is a very good how not to flip a trailer shackl

[@adamsorell4851]

I dont think they used pry bars to do it. I think they removed the bolts. And set it up positiined where it just had to be jacked up. I tried using prybars on smaller trailer and it couldnt be done.

[@CandiceShorts]

Too much yapping
