Found a loose bolt on my trailer.


This is a bolt on the 79 EZ Loader trailer that didn't have a washer on the aluminum and it wore the head into the metal. It is the noise that I always heard but couldn't find. I also found a drilled hole for the second bolt and then fixed the other side of the trailer. The noise is gone and the trailer is better than before. It has never been a problem that I was aware of but now it is fixed. Used a nut splitter to remove the nut and bolt then installed a 7/16th bolt in place of the 3/8th bolt without much drilling as the orginal holes were 7/16"

Jim,

I have not seen that nut splitter. Where did you pick that up. Might be something new to add to the tool box.

Harbor Freight and it was the first time use and it worked great in a difficult place. It comes with a small and large size.
