Pulled the hubs on the trailer today.
Brakes looked & worked fine.
Bearing lots of grease & clean & shiny .
This is the first axle I've had with a grease zerk on the end.
Finally figured out how to use it I think.
Grease port comes out on the inboard bearing & the seal forces the grease thru the hub out around thru the front bearing.
I pumped grease in until I saw some coming out around the front bearing. Then
pulled the hub, no grease inside the hub![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
Got about an 1 to 2 notches turn on each axle nut.
All in all axles & hubs looks to be in good shape.
Tires may need replaced but I think I can get a few seasons yet out of them.
