Default *Warning* Continental Trailers

Yesterday I was helping a buddy work on his boat and we decided to PM the trailer for an upcoming road trip. Got out the impact air gun to back off the lug nuts, grease and run them back in.

We found 5 of the 6 lugs on the port wheel were cross treaded from the factory and the impact barely moved them. We did'nt check the other side just made plans to take it to the local tire shop for all new studs.

My point is this trailer was purchased new in Miami several years ago and has not been serviced. Can you imagine being on the side of the road with a flat and four way lug wrench!!!!!!
