 Topic: Bearing grease blown out into brake assemblyPosted: 05 Jun 2013 at 11:02pm |

A very small amount of grease will squeeze through the roller bearings; most of the grease will come over the top and under the bottom of the bearing. Make sure that your bearing packer is screwed down good and tight.

As a final comment on my bearing lube, I had purchased FOUR seals from my local "trailer shop" - two for next time. They charged me about $7 per seal. Last week I searched on eTrailer.com and found them LOTS cheaper and ordered them (2 fur special). I compared them yesterday and found them identical -double lip rubber seal- except the eTrailer rubber seals looked wider and better made. I'll be using them next time.

Yikes, $7 a seal. I just bought seals to repack the bearings for $1.45 a seal from the local Dexter Axle dealer this morning.
I don't know how to do links but you can go to Croft Trailer Supply, search for GS84 Seals which is the number for the Dexter axle seals. Now that I have said that after looking at shipping costs you are right back up to the $7 figure. Goose |
