AXLE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Locate the axle for the trailer. Note that there isn’t a right or left
to the axle assembly. Place one of the springs on top of the
spring pad welded to the axle. Drop two (2) 3/8” x 2 3/16” x 2”
U-bolts over the springs and down through the holes in the
spring pad. Secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts. Repeat this
process on the other spring mounting it so that it is oriented on
the axle the same as the first spring.
Slip a spring bushing spacer into the rear of the spring bracket,
align the bushing with the hole in the bracket and secure in
position using a 1/2” x 3” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat on the other spring bracket.
Slide the axle assembly under the trailer frame, raise up and
slide the rear of the springs above the bushings just installed.
Rotate the assembly up until the front spring eyes align with the
front holes in the spring bracket. Insert a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt
and secure with a 9/16” lock nut. Tighten. Tighten the U-bolt
attaching the springs to the axles at this time and any other
bolts that may have been left loose for ease of assembly.
Place the tire and wheel assemblies on the hubs and secure
with the 1/2” tapered lock nuts.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb. of torque using
the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners
Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then
periodically thereafter.
