I have been also dipping an apple into all natural peanut butter with no extra sugar to get some protein and healthy fats, it' a great meal or desert.
I eat a banana and natural peanut butter daily. Kind of a mini meal.

Okay...removed the bolt and redid it to 100 Nm.
That was easy. 🙂

I suppose you’re saying that I’d have to take the bolt out, clean, reapply then retighten.
Yes. BTW-some bearings need a specific torque to function as designed. Too little is as bad as is too much. I don't know if that applies here as we haven't seen the it all but something to think about.

Cool!

Checked the DVD. The bolt does call for 100 nm. Not a biggie. It’s easy to tighten it more with the bike reassembled.
It is a biggie now that you have thread locker on the bolt.

It would be interesting to know how much wind drag that wall/loading ramp creates at highway speed.
I have always wondered about that but thinking of the amount it will be used, might not really be a thing. Most of the small trailers I see around here are like that now. It has to be so much more convenient than ramps. If it does cost him $5 or 10 more per trip vs having a better riding, more useable trailer, I'd take the latter.

I have gotten the "Forbidden" at times if it had links in it. If I removed the links it worked.

There are rules here about trying to sell that kind of stuff. 😉

Let the ridiculing begin...
Don't worry, none of us will say you should have listened from the start, not one of us. 😁
The new trailer will be nicer to use over the other one.

As I eat either chicken or turkey every day for decades, maybe all those antibiotics is the reason we never got the China flu. 😉

Pretty interesting. Never knew "no antibiotics" actually means “no antibiotics important to human medicine,”
What are you using to get past the pay wall? 12ft ladder isn't working.

I've heard that wintergreen oil is a good rodent deterrent, then you'll have some around when you need to rehab some old rubber parts.
Snakes. You need snakes.

...that was 30°F on a 4 lane. I was doing 75. He passed me.
That's always the question, I'm freezing, do I slow down to get less wind chill or bite the bullet and speed up to get there quicker?

Sure you do.
Use something long and thinner at one end to prise under the to door and raise it up a wee bit. Put a block under the door, reset your prising bar, and repeat until there is room for your hydraulic floor jack. Now you're in business. Raise the door with the jack, block it up, and lift the door again using whatever you can find...4x4 post, two 2x4's secured together, etc. keep lifting until the door is at least halfway up. As more of the door passes the 90 degree corner, less weight will be direct lift and you should be able to push the door up by hand.
You did it! Just you and your friends leverage and hydraulics!
Did the same thing many years ago on a very thick 1940's two car wood garage door.

Like Super said, if you can get the part, take it to any machine shop or even a decent auto repair shop to press the bearings.

So why didn't you buy it? It looks like a good one.

Like gun owners, there are groups I am part of that I hate to be part of because of the other members of the group.
Sometimes it's good to be in the group of one. 😉

To inspect the front and rear universal joints for wear…they aren’t serviceable, but you don’t want a failure while riding. You also should liberally grease the splines so oxidation doesn’t make it jam in place.
I didn't think you had that many miles on it. Did the manual recommend it at your mileage?
A couple of years ago I pulled the shaft out of my 1994 (that I bought new) to grease the driveshaft. After pulling it did it need it, NO. Total waste of effort.

I have four Battery Tenders ranging from over 30 years old to a year old that get used from Nov to April. Never had a problem with any of them.
Zero, years ago I remember you saying that you didn't use them because you didn't like using "vampire" electronics or something like that. Have things changed?

then stuck it in the toaster oven at 350 to make sure it was dry all the way through.
Never thought about having a old one in the garage to use. Not sure it would get used enough to justify the space which is at a premium.
Trailering and tying down bikes
in The Garage

Checking to make sure the locking hooks will fit is a good idea but locking hooks are a must IMO. Change the anchor points if not because I have had S type hooks come unhooked before. The loops are very useful for giving you more options when tying things down.
While some do haul their bikes around with 2 or 3 straps, I have never seen any harm in adding more.
