Question:
Should I turn the trailer over to make it easier to install new axle?

Expert Reply:
In regards to the installation of a trailer axle like the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs part # e25GR, you'd simply need to lift the trailer off the ground until the wheels are no longer touching then it's just a matter of removing the u-bolts and sliding the axle out. I have attached an install video I did on this line for you below as well.
I don't recommend turning the trailer over for installation of the axle, I have never done this and I don't think it would be feasible for most trailers.
