Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a real quick look at the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring. This retainer ring is going to help you mount a wobble roller to your boat trailer's roller bunk. And the zinc plated steel construction is sturdy and long-lasting. And this is designed for holding a roller on a one and one eight inch and three quarter of an inch shaft size. And the diameter of this ring is three 16ths of an inch.

And this ring would need to be installed using a pair of pliers, or any tool that can help you bend the ring into place around that shaft. That's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I had to replace 8 rollers on my boat trailer,the rollers came on time like etrailer said they would and the ones I purchased fits my easy loader trailer perfectly.I pulled one hog ring off,and yes it snapped in half so I got ahold of etrailer again and got the heavy-duty hog rings got them today on time and they worked perfectly,I ordered the hog ring pliers forget buying them they will not work with the heavy rings.I used a vise to bend the rings close to a snug fit the placed them in the holes and used a set of channel locks to finish the job works perfectly, hope this helps other people out. Thank you etrailer associates for your help,will keep you in mind for future orders!

Everything is in excellent working order!Thanks for your help!!



by:

The retaining ring works as advertised. Relatively easy to install, just requires a little persuasion here and there. Salt water environment not friendly to these rings.



by:

Parts look of good quality I look forward to getting them installed. I received the rollers within a few days. Definitely will order from ETRAILER again.



by:

These retainer rings (hog rings) are a perfect fit for my trailer that has 3/4" rods that the wobble rollers fit on. I searched all over and finally found them on etrailer...where I obviously should have started my search for anything dealing with a boat trailer!

The Wobble Roller Retainer Rings bull rings, to me have held up perfectly on the rollers for my sailboat trailer. Great product!



by:

It was a great experience.
There was
1 issue. I was missing 1 part and they took care of it right away,
No questions asked.
That counts alot for me.



by:

I bought everything I needed to rebuild my boat trailer from etrailer and have been very happy with the product and service. Was a successful rebuild, trailered my 18 Ft boat four thousand miles around Florida and back to Massachusetts on a fishing adventure with no issues.

Great product good price

Great

Very nice retaining rings! Tough as nails. They are really hard to crimp, but when they are on, there is no doubt they are not going anywhere.



by:

So far good quality parts. A little expensive tho.



by:

I love ordering parts from etrailer. I know they are quality parts and exactly what I need.



by:

Needed these to replace rusted, worn clips on my Sea Lion trailer. Perfect fit, and the videos to help install were very useful. Great customer service too. Parts arrived quickly, and were nicely packed. Thanks etrailer!

Working as stated after one year, all is good so far



by:

These worked well in replace my old boat trailer rollers that were all rusted. Easy to install.



by:

They are installed and the trailer rollers stayed in place. Service was good and the product was what I expected.
The only issue was getting the right pliers to install the keepers

No problems still working like new



by:

Tried to use these clips but they were impossible to crimp. I was replacing rollers on boat trailer. Not even my channel locks could budge these. Went with axle caps instead. Much easier to use. The reviews for special crimping tool for these got poor reviews overall. You can't really get a good grip with the channel locks because of the overlapping edge of the rollers that get in the way.



by:

Requires a lot of pressure to install on the Wobbly Roller. I am not sure what tool would have made the installation easier. The angled hog ring pliers were too small.

Thank you so very much for immediately standing by delivery of our order. Our previous package must have been stolen, as we never received it . When I reported this to your company, I was immediately assured it would be reordered an shipped to me. Package received!!!! Thank you very much. Now we can repair the trailer.

Great



by:

I installed these on my boat trailer and they were absolutely perfect for my needs. The rollers are now functioning 100% and I no longer have any rubber roller marks on the boat. A perfect solution to imperfect rollers.



by:

Great Prices and selections. Very good correspondence with a slight delay on the order. Very prompt in receiving the order once stock was in. The Wobble wheels and the locks went on well. The replacement locks were of a better quality than what I took off. It caused me to grind the washers a little to make it all fit. It was a quality install, if I say so myself. Keeping Etrailer.com as a go to parts store.



by:

Delivery was quick and the roller and clips look of very good quality.



by:

Just finished installation on ez loader trailer,nice fit,easy install.Used to replace 33 year old rollers that were shot.By doing so lifted boat up a couple of inches so it is no longer dangerously close to fenders.Can't comment yet on performance or longetivity but appear to be a decent product.I appreciate the speed with which they arrived,might be able to enjoy a couple more weeks on the water.The hog rings overall were larger than the existing but worked fine on 1" shaft.Thanks



by:

Measured and ordered the parts to replace the rollers on my EZLoader trailer. Shipment showed up super fast and was able to get it done right the first time. There is a helpful video on you tube that shows how to install these rollers. My boat now glides on and off my trailer!
Thank you for the great service!



by:

The wobble roller retainer rings should be a must have for anyone with rollers on there trailer. Over time I have replaced almost all my rings ., especially if you use your boat, like me in salt water.



by:

The items I received were exactly what I wanted, being that my boat trailer is 30 yrs old. The rubber rollers were the same exact size as the ones that were 30 yrs old. Also, the shipment arrived way before I was expecting it. I will continue to shop at etrailer.com



by:

This was a replacement for the OEM product placed on my Tidewater trailer. It fit the bill exactly. Shai was very helpful getting the right size roller, washer, and hog clips to ensure that my installation went smoothly. I was in a rush and the 2-day shipping came through as well. Overall a great experience.



by:

Got exactly what I ordered in a reasonable time frame

  • Parts Needed For Replacing Yates 530R Rollers On 7/8" Shafts
    Yes, there is an inner washer then the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller # YR530R-7P, outer washer and finally the Hog Ring Retainer # CE10981. We do have the Angled Hog Ring Pliers # PTW88003 to aid in the installation of the retainers. You may also consider upgrading to the TPR Roller # YR500YW-7P. This thermoplastic rubber outlasts the standard rubber rollers and will not mark up the boat hull.

  • Are Parts Available for Yates 5 Inch Wobble Rollers?
    We carry boat trailer hardware though not all parts for the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller 5" Diameter # YR500YW-6P. We do offer Wobble Roller Washer for 3/4" Shaft # CE10983 and Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981. I have added a link for you to all of our available boat trailer parts so you can take a look.

  • Replacement Wobble Rollers 5 Diameter, 3 Wide For a 3/4 Shaft
    We have the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller in either a Heavy-Duty Rubber # YR530R-6P or Thermoplastic Rubber # YR500YW-6P. These both are 5" in diameter, 3" wide and fit on a 3/4" shaft. These will both have a 7/8" hub diameter. We do also carry the 3/4" Wobble Roller Washer # CE10983, Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981 and Angled Hog Ring Pliers # PTW88003. These will allow you to replace any missing damaged or worn parts you may need.

  • Recommended Tires, Brake Assemblies, And Hubs For 2004 Venture Boat Trailer
    For your 2004 Venture Trailer, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-K. This comes with the bearings and seal you need. For your hydraulic brake assemblies, I recommend the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKFBBRK-7-D. For your tires and wheels, I recommend the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - LR...

  • What Holds Wobble Rollers onto a Trailer
    The Yates Wobble Roller # YR440R that you referenced should work well for you since it has the same 3/4 inch shaft as your trailer. Wobble rollers are held on with retainer rings like the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981. Basically, you put the open end of the retainer ring around the shaft on each end of the roller then use some pliers to clamp it closed so it is tight to the shaft. This allows the roller to roll but stay in position. Basically, the ring has to gently but...

  • Tool Recommendation for Installing Retainer Ring for Wobble Rollers
    Sounds like you are looking for a way to secure the # CE10981 to the shaft for the installation of the part # YR343R-6P. A decent set of pliers like the part # PTW88003 would do the trick. Or a set of channel locks.

  • Are Special Tools Needed to Attach Wobbler Rollers to a Shaft Using Retaining Rings
    I have tried to use channel locks before and they do not work all that well. You need what are called hog ring pliers such as # PTW88003. These pliers also come with fasteners but for boat trailer rollers you would want to use a retainer ring such as # CE10981 as an example.

  • Washer and Pin to Use with the CE Smith Wobble Roller YR440R
    For washers to go with the part # YR440R we have the part # CE10983. Wobble rollers are held on with retainer rings like the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981. This gets clamped so that the holes on your shaft get pinned by the ring.

  • How To Install New Wobble Rollers, Washers, And Retaining Rings
    The way to install the new # YR343R-6P roller is pretty simple. You'd can use pliers or channel locks to remove the existing retainer ring and the old washer. Then remove the old roller. install the new roller part # YR343R-6P and washer part # CE10983, and install the new retainer ring part # CE10981 by slipping it over the shaft and crimping it with the pliers or channel locks. This roller is designed to work on a 3/4 inch diameter shaft.

  • Recommended Replacement Wobble Roller Parts for Venture Boat Trailer
    Thank you for including a photo of your Venture trailer that is missing some parts that hold its wobble roller in place. It looks like the trailer has one of the Yates non-marking rollers that are shown on the linked page. Based on your 1-1/8-inch diameter I think you have the # YR500YW-9P. We offer the matching washer # CE10982 and retainer ring # CE10981 that you can add to your cart by clicking on the provided links.

  • Wobble Roller Along With Washer And Retaining Ring
    The Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller - Heavy-Duty Rubber - 5" Diameter - 1-1/8" Shaft # YR530R-9P is normally retained with the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10981 along with the CE Smith Wobble Roller Washer for 1-1/8" Shaft - Zinc-Plated Steel # CE10982. This is the only retainer ring we carry with the exception of the ones that come with the Angled Hog Ring Pliers # PTW88003.

  • Can a Wobble Roller Retainer be Replaced with a Cotter Pin
    Essentially the Wobble Roller Retainer pin part # CE10981 is a cotter pin. I would recommend using this though as it was designed to fit under a wobble roller. A cotter pin might interfere depending on it's size.

  • Wobble Roller, Hog Ring and Washer for an EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    The Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller, # YR500YW-8PEZ, is exactly what you need for your 1999 EZ Loader boat trailer. The bushings are included with this roller. For a hog ring, we offer part # CE10981 and you can use part # SW1000 for a washer. At this time, we do not have wobble roller sets or kits that fit a 1 inch shaft.

  • Part Needed to Secure Wobble Roller to 5/8 inch Shaft
    For a pal nut designed to fit a 5/8 inch shaft you would want the part # CE10801 which will secure to the end of a 5/8 inch shaft. We don't have a retainer ring for that shaft size.

  • How to Install the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981
    Basically, you put the open end around the shaft on each end of the roller then use some pliers to clamp it closed so it is tight to the shaft. This allows the roller to roll but stay in position. I made a video showing what this would look like for you.

  • Key Dimensions for Selecting Boat Trailer Wobble Rollers
    Boat trailer wobble rollers like # YR500YW-7P and not trailer-specific or brand-specific so if their dimensions match up you'll be fine using them as replacements. The key things to note are the size of the shaft hole in the roller, which is about an inch so that it fits well on a 7/8-inch diameter roller, and its overall diameter (5-inches) and width (3-inches). Clips like part # CE10981 are crimped on the ends of the shaft to keep the roller in place using Angled Hog Ring Pliers # PTW88003.

  • Wobbler Rollers With 1-1/2" Long Bushing For 1" Shaft EZ Loader Magic Tilt Trailer
    You need the Yates Ribbed Wobble Roller # YR500YW-8P. It matches your roller at 5" in diameter, 3" wide and uses a 1-1/2" long bushing to fit on a 1" shaft. The Washer For 1" Spindle # SW1000 are sold individually so be sure to order the correct amount that you need. We also have the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring # CE10981 for replacing your current retainers.

  • Replacement Wobble Rollers for Boat Trailer
    It's sounds as if you're looking for wobble or rocker rollers. I don't have anything with the exact dimensions you mentioned, but the Yates # YR530R-8P in heavy duty rubber or the # YR500YW-8P in TPR (thermo plasticized rubber) come very close. Both rollers measure in at 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches wide. Clips like part # CE10981 are crimped on the ends of the shaft to keep the roller in place. We don't carry a washer compatible with a 1 inch diameter shaft.

  • Replacement Boat Trailer Wobble Roller Installation
    The boat trailer replacement wobble rollers we offer include both black rubber and non-marking thermoplastic types that you can see by clicking on the link provided for you. It is a good idea to use washer on both ends of the new roller to prevent binding on the cotter pin. You will want to match up the overall outside diameter and inside shaft diameter of the replacement roller to your original to ensure it will fit and perform correctly. We offer rollers with as much as a 5-inch outside...

  • Are There Different Sized Wobbler Roller Retaining Rings?
    There are different sized wobbler wheel retaining rings, however we only carry the one size of retaining ring. The CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10981. This is designed for holding roller on 1-1/8" shaft size and 3/4" shaft size only. The diameter of this retainer ring is 3/16 inch. This is a fairly standard size and that is why we don't carry others. If you need a washer for this install, I recommend the CE Smith Wobble Roller Washer for 3/4"...

    The shafts in your picture do look a bit rusty but most likely they will still work. But you have to inspect them all to make sure they only have surface rust. You'll also need the washer part # CE10982 and the retainer ring part # CE10981 to install the wobble roller part # YR530R-5P you mentioned.

Aside from that we unfortunately don't have replacement mounting brackets for the wobble rollers so for that you'll need to visit your local trailer shop to see if that's something they can supply you with.
