Question:
I recently ordered and received a 12 inch x 2 inch Yates Rubber trailer Roller with a 1/2 shaft. Didnt realize that was the end of the shaft to fit Axel Caps. Have questions: 1 is there any other rollers that measure 2 inch dia / 3 inch long / with a 5/8 inch shaft? 2 if I order the Yates YR12243 roller thats 12 inch long with a 5/8 inch shaft can that be cut to 3 inch lengths? The rollers Im trying to replace are gray in color and are very hard. The trailer is old and being reconstructed

Expert Reply:
Currently the roller that we have that has a 2 inch diameter is the CE Smith Side Guide Roller # CE29562, but it is for a 1/2" shaft so it is not compatible for your setup.
I spoke with my contact at Yates and he said that the Side Guide Roller # YR12243-5 that you mentioned can indeed be cut to fit your specifications and that it is done all of the time. The most effective tool to use is a radial saw.
