Al-KO Jockey wheel

Thanks Mark & Yvonne,
I have been keeping it well greased, the last Bearing I installed has only lasted 3 months, the mild steel washers on either side of the ball bearing race become deformed by the ball bearings, and the casing the ball bearings are held in desintegrates, seems like a weight issue.
I may look into one of the jack stands available from Vehicle Components, anyone tell me which is the best one for BT's and how are they attached, clamp or weld?
Tanks again

Since fitting the Vehicle Components stand two and a half years ago, I think I have used my jockey wheel two or three times.
Mine is welded to the cross brace on the A frame near the handbrake, and VC also fitted an additional 25mm square length of solid steel across the top of this brace, to give a stronger support. The top bearing is an automotive wheel bearing.
Someone (?) at BT doesn't like them, but I wouldn't be without it. Changing the height is a two finger operation, it's that easy. Anyone who finds it easy to move or turn the van on rough terrain or anything other than level, smooth concrete using a J/W is a better man than I am GungaDin! I reckon it's much easier to hone your reversing skills, using rear view mirrors etc.
Cheers
