Good morning, Since EZ-Loader deems that I am not worthy of a return E-Mail I thought I would ask the true experts. Here is my problem:
Where I park my boat in my back turn around when it rains it will hold water. A lot of water. My trailer must have sat in water several days. When I went to take it to the lake I made it about 3 miles and I noticed my back tandems smoking. I pulled over and YES they were hot. I backed the trailer up pretty fast and it sounded and acted like it broke them loose. I then drove another 5 miles and checked them and they were normal cool to the touch. I went to the lake with no problems--put the boat in--fished and came home. When I got home checked them again and they were cool to the touch. This past week-end I hooked to the trailer and pulled it about a mile. Had to back up and the right rear wheel locked up. Pulled forward to turn around and by the time I got home only the right wheel was hot. Not both of them this time but just the right one.
1. What do you think the problem is?
2. How can I back the brake off so I can get it to a trailer shop.
3. It is a 2001 tandem under a 2001 Triton. I always check my bearings and grease when needed. This has got me stumped and of course there is never a good time for something like this to happen but right here before the weather is getting nice. Heck it was over 70 degrees here on Saturday and I had to take my old 370V to the lake.
Many thanks.
