Question:
How do you attach the end bracket to the shaft?

Expert Reply:
To attach a pal nut (part # CE10801) to the end of a roller shaft, you would simply tap it into place with a hammer or mallet.
The easiest way to do this is fully assemble the roller, shaft and bracket before installing it on the trailer.
Place the pal nut on the floor, open end up. Place the shaft through the roller and place roller and shaft in the bracket.
Then, turn the assembly on its side with the shaft inserted into the pal nut on the floor. Place the other pal nut on the other end of the shaft, and use a hammer to seat the top nut, which should also seat the roller shaft into the bottom pal nut at the same time. Once the nuts are seated, you can attach the roller assembly to your trailer.
