When I bought sweet pea the same thing happened to me. I ended up removing the wheel and all by disassembly of the wheel bearing! It was the only way and sounds more difficult than it is in practice. Sorry! Dik Lang Sweet Pea M-17

Hi gang..

The studs on my Trailrite wheels are rusted in place, as the previous owner used it in salt water. Is there a way to easily remove the whole wheel??

So far, no real problems, but knowing this, I no longer wish to trailer Stargazer more then the 2 miles to the ramp!!!

Regards,

Harvey/Ga
