Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, verify your trailer's existing wheel hub specifications. This assembly features a 4-stud 100mm PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) and a 60mm centre hole. Ensure this matches your trailer's hub for a correct fit. The rim size is 5.50x8 and has no offset.
Installation:
- Ensure the trailer is safely supported and the wheel you are replacing is removed.
- Align the wheel assembly with the trailer's wheel studs.
- Hand-tighten the nuts onto the studs.
- Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts in a star pattern to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for your trailer's studs.
- Check tyre pressure is inflated to the specified 70 PSI.
Care:
- Regular Inspections: Periodically check tyre pressure, tread depth, and look for any signs of damage or wear.
- Cleaning: Clean the rims with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
- Storage: If storing the trailer long-term, consider placing it on axle stands to take the weight off the tyres, preventing flat spots.
- Torque Checks: Re-check wheel nut torque after the first 50-100 miles of use.
