I have a 3-ton jack (for me to change my winter tires on my car), and now
I
am trying to change a flatten tire on my 16' trailer of my boat, but I am
a
little bit confused..I can't find lifting point, where should I put the
jack? any idea?

Assuming a floor or bottle jack, anywhere on the frame closest
to the wheel. Make sure the jack is stable - use a jack stand or
a building block as a safety.

Also, do I need to grease the wheel bearing on the trailer wheel? Can I
use
WD-40, just spray?

As somebody else said NO NO NO!!!

Remove the bearings and repack - it's a simple operation.

Also, get thee hence to NAPA and pickest thou upest some
Never Seize (or equivalent) - it's a white grease, aluminum,
graphite compound designed to prevent rust welding - believe
me, you can torque the wheel nuts, submerge the trailer for
years and the lug nuts will spin off slick as slop sliding down
hill. I use it on everything that requires immersion in salt or fresh
water - works great.



"...slick as slop sliding down hill." LMAO!!!!
