Torsion axle replacement

[Sore Thumbs]

I finally got it changed out! It was a booger getting those dang hubs off. Took almost 3 hours but we got it done. The only issue I had is metal brake line is a little too long to go into the fitting that came with new axle. Gotta go to brake shop and get it shortened and bled the brakes. 

  Another important thing I found out is UFP made my axle. I ordered it through EZ LOADER first. After doing some research I found out that UFP might replace my axle for free. My trailer is an 07 so I didn't think I would get it covered but I called anyway.  The lady at UFP told me she would cover the axle but since I ordered it through EZ LOADER I would have to call them and see if they would refund me the money back.  Looks like I'm going to get axle for free minus shipping. It was a $330 axle so this is great news. I just wanted to let you folks know if you ever have problems with axles to find out manufacturer and give them a call. It could save you a pile of dough.  I found it to be refreshing that there are still companies that stand behind their products.

But would you want another UFP axle?

For free? Absolutely! Ha.
