 Topic: How do you grease your wheel bearings?Posted: 23 May 2011 at 5:39pm |

Sorry guys, but I'm still a noobie to trailers or towing.
 So how do you do it? Do you have to remove the whole wheel to get to the bearings?

I follow the manufacturers guidelines. Every spring, I remove the wheels, remove and inspect the bearings, clean and repack the bearings, adjust the breaks and reassemble.
I do not recommend using the zerk fittings to squirt in extra grease. If grease gets past the rear seal, it will go directly on the brakes.
