Sue, There is NO EASY WAY to put it back. I crawl under and put the cable with retainer thru the center of wheel, then sneak out and SLOWLY crank the thing up till it takes up slack then continue cranking until its up and tight. Don't ever let someone with an air wrench do it as they can strip the nylon gear. Les Schwab did it to mine in Spokane and had to order a new one. Fortunately we had the tire work done on the way in to town, stayed two weeks, then drove by their place on the way out for them to install. Of course, keeping it in the truck lowers your overall trailer weight also, so there is some good in that.....
