Now that you are finished with this project and probably could do another one just like it in no time, could I book a time for you to come do mine? Looks very good - especially with your accompanying photos!
Festus2, There is no ignorance on this forum, just RVers sharing knowledge. #1: Wet-bolts have a grease fitting and a port in the center of the bolt to lube the bronze bushing.
#2: I am replacing my ST225/75/R15D Chinese Marathons with LT215/85/R16E Michelin X-Ribs. They are not passenger tires but Commercial all position tires. (steering, drive and commercial trailer axles) Of course I had to get the proper rims too.

#3: I would like to help you do yours ..... but ...... North is not the direction that I want to be traveling this time of year.
