Hi, everyone. Aidan here at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install these replacement safety chains from Laclede. Now, each chain is going to have a 7/16th S hook on the end, a quarter inch diameter chain and each chain is going to be 27 inches long and that includes that S hook on the end. The S hook will go to our safety chain loops, of course. And then the free link at the end is what we'll actually install on the trailer side.
Now this does only come with one safety chain so if you need two, like we did today, be sure to pick up two for your trailer. Now these do have a safe working load limit of 1,250 pounds and a brake strength of 5,000 pounds, so just keep that in mind with what you're gonna be hauling on your trailer. They are gonna have a nice steel construction with a zinc coating. That's gonna help it resist some rust and corrosion, but it's not immune. Like anything metal sitting outside in the elements, eventually you probably will get some of that corrosion build up, so just keep an eye on them and make sure if you need your replace them, you do.
And that replacement process is really simple. We got ours done in no time. Check out how we did it. Now, the first step of the installation is gonna actually be for us replacing the old chains. So, we're gonna get these removed.
Now, ours aren't necessarily in bad shape, but we're just kind of doing this for demonstration purposes and on our trailer we'll want to remove this front bolt on the coupler because our safety chains are actually fed through that. So as I pull this bolt out, you'll see them fall just like that. With our old safety chains removed, we can take our old hardware that we had. You will need to either use your old hardware or pick up new hardware because the chains don't come with any new hardware but we'll just slide our bolt through, have a chain on either side, since we're replacing both. We can thread on this nut here and then we can secure everything down with our wrench and socket.
And with everything secured, we can take our safety chains, hook them onto the safety chain loops and then we're ready to hit the road. And that'll do it for our look at these Laclede safety chains. Thanks for watching..
