That's why we went to Calshot, and it was still awkward. I need to cut 4 U-bolts and reposition the front and middle set of rollers.

Looks well! Bet your well pleased with all that hard work!
My 6.5 it's a PITA as well to get off the trailer, have got it down to a t now, with a quick dab of reverse.

Thanks
This nearly had to be 100% floated off-there's several semi-seized rollers on the trailers and it really didn't want to move.

Yeah I used to have to float it off fully, when full of fuel and don't think I have any seized rollers? and my quick dab should have said quick dab on brakes when in reverse to help it on its way.

Yeah they get flat spots too on the rollers after she been sitting a while .. Ive dropped some of my precious onto grass before now (off older trailers) to free the trailer up closer to home and taken all the rollers off and buffed off any build up on the yokes .. freed up the dollies and fitted new split pins and washers just to keep them running free

This was semi seized rollers on the trailer. Just grabbed a full new set of split pins, so she'll have to come off the trailer into the Thames at some point and replace the pins/free the rollers up.

I'm not sure I got the combination right on mine ... Stainless split pins on ally bearers with galvy washers ... I've probably made a new form of cheap sustainable leccy every time it gets dunked
