What happens here
With the old axle removed and the trailer securely supported, the next step shown is the preparation of the trailer frame. A worker, identified as Robbie, is seen "shaving off all the innards" from the underside of the trailer, which involves using an angle grinder to remove old mounting points or remnants from the previous axle. This ensures a clean and flat surface for the new axle's mounting brackets to be welded onto the frame. Sparks are visible, confirming the use of a grinding tool.
Goal: Clean trailer frame of old axle mounting points
