Will do. We are on our third season and around the 2000-2500 miles. I'm always leery about do-it-yourselfing things that can get us killed! Lol ------------- 2014 rpod 182G Ford Expedition |

I am working a write up for the on-line POD manual, but in the meantime this link should take you to the Lippert brake and bearing service manual that covers it all. The Dexter Axle procedures are probably similar, but again, this manual is specifically for the Lippert Axle and Brakes. Let me know if the link doesn't work. Good luck! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2M4imcnGBJod0ZnZTdLZVZuQ00/view?usp=sharing - Lippert

So the wife has vetoed me doing this myself. Something about liking being alive or whatever...
Aside from repacking the bearings, is there anything else that should be done? By this I mean anything that requires scheduled maintenance. Please don't feel that you're offending me by mentioning something simple, because you won't. ------------- 2014 rpod 182G Ford Expedition |
