[Rhodes22-list] Stuck/Frozen Trailer Wheel

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Lee,

Have you tried towing it a short distance both forward and reverse?  About the only things it can be is stuck brakes or a seized bearing.  Either way, if it doesn’t come free by towing it, you will have to jack it up and remove the wheel to inspect.
