I hope so.
Consider that we are replacing the entire rear axle, brakes and one wheel and tire. And they are working on Saturday to get it done.
I will be surprised it is less than $1000...
I feel your pain. We lost 2 wheel hubs, several years apart, on our last trailer. First time we ended up getting towed to a truck repair place; he was able to fix damage to the spindle so we didn't need to replace the axle, but we still waited all day in the sun at his shop while he was out on calls, then had to check into a seedy little motel for a couple nights while he awaited other parts. Second time we were luckier - discovered the damage to the hub when we arrived at the CG we had reserved for the night, which happened to be a block away from a truck repair garage! This time we had to replace the axle, which took a couple weeks (waiting on parts), so we had to unpack the trailer and leave it there, and go home (6 hours away) in the meantime.
Yeah, from our experience, your repair bill will be at least $1K. Good luck!!
