Where would be a good place to buy quality U bolts. I'm going to have fun getting one of these off without breaking them to get the correct measurement. A torch would be best but I don't have one. But, I have plenty of Kroil. Which worked wonders on the trailer hitch mechanism. Axle is a solid forged one piece and I don't know the year or make of the original camper. Just have the frame now to make a utility trailer out of it. What companies have good stuff?  Axle Ubolt by Another Dude, on Flickr |

Would you believe I just got one of them off without breaking? AREOKROIL for the win.

I've gotten ubolts from the place below. They custom make them to your specs.

Four campers! I wouldn't remember ether. I like how they have thick washers on them. Did the company give you a torque spec to follow?

No torque specification that I remember. What I liked about them is they recreated the original ubolts exactly.

Really, so you sent one in to them? They guided me with the measurements they needed and they were perfect. |
