    Shackle Replacement

    Has anyone replaced the shackles and bolts on their cobra trailer? I have a 99 201d with a dual axle trailer. I see alot of Cobra pictures with the dual axle trailer, just looking for a little information on the shackle replacement. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

    I've replaced mine, it really wasn't too difficult. I did have to cut a couple of the bolt heads, then drive them out with a punch. not sure if you are familiar with the bolts, but they do not twist out, they are splined.

    Thank you for the info. I figure , I will have to do the same. Where did you order your replacement shackles and bolts from? Did you replace the springs also? The springs on my trailer are still good. thanks

    I bought a whole new axle kit from marine masters that came with new springs and shackles.. I did reuse the shackles on my other axle when I replaced the bolts as well. I found the shackle bolts at tractor supply.
