Question:

hello, I purchased an older boat on an EZ loader trailer. The rollers are very old and have a metal core. They are held on to the rocker arm with an 8inch x 5/8inch bolt. Will the 3/4inch shaft roller you sell work in this application? I would buy new bolts and 5/8 fender washers that would fit at the face of your roller.

Since the Yates Wobble Roller # YR530R-6P you mentioned is made for a 3/4" bolt it may not be ideal for that application. Instead I recommend the # YR530R-5P which is the same 5" x 3" roller but made to fit a 5/8" bolt. Provided the current roller is the 5" diameter, our roller will be extremely similar to what you have now, minus the metal core.
