How To: Repair the stiff or seized axle pivots on your Ice Castle Fish house. I replaced and installed additional zerk grease fittings, reconditioned the axle stubs & carriers and made/installed UHMW spacers.
If you are unable to pivot your axle assembly by hand with the wheel off, bad news; you NEED to do this service or you will likely suffer catastrophic axle damage.
I highly recommend the UHMW spacer upgrade. Not only will they save you a massive amount of time/effort next time you service your pivots, if you ever have issues with your axle assembly on the ice, you will be very glad you haven't got to get those dang steel collars off!
There are shops that will do this job for you, but I was looking down the barrel of a $450-$700+ bill for that and since I just bought a new washer & dryer I really wanted to save the repair money so I did it myself. Certainly not a fun or an easy job, but if I can do it, so can you.
I know this is a long video with a lot of talking, but gut it out. There's some helpful information; especially for those who are deciding whether to pay a shop or to tackle it themselves. Know what you're getting into before getting 1/8 of the way through and deciding you don't want to finish and then have to have it towed to a shop because you moved the collar part way.
