Axle replacement

[Anacapafish]

Hello boaters, Project 80 Sea Ray coming along nicely until I discovered a bent axle. It could possibly be a bad bearing but I wont know for sure till after the weekend when I jack the boat up and really pull on the wheel. If in fact it is a bent axle, is there a way to remove the axle with the boat on it and any pointers would be appreciated. I was in the process of purchasing some trailer brakes when I discovered this issue, frustrating.

what type of trailer? I have had to replace an axle recently on my ez-loader

The only identifying markings on the trailer are "Attwood" 8500#, 1275# tongue, Class 4. Its a tandem axle with "4' drop" axle. Sound familiar? Thanks for the response Chris41483.

I'm sorry. doesn't sound familiar at all. Mine is an easy-loader, and I had a bent forward axle. I called trailer parts superstore, and they sent me an axle very quickly, and were very helpful. You might check there if you end up having to replace it.
