Ok, now I am going to change the wheelbearings on the trailer. There are 4 and looks like they are individual (as opposed to axels where there is differencial oil lubing each side). So they have the bearings kits at the local Walmart so I figured I would just jack up one side of the trailer at a time and do these one by one. I figured there would be a couple roller bearing things in there with some cones or spacers or seals. Any tips from those who have successfully performed such a change? I would really like to know what the preferred grease is to be pumped into them when complete. There are grease nipples on each one so I can pump grease in. I have two types of grease, one is a brown kind of grease, the other is a Esso product that is blue or greenish. I also have lots of Neverseize, in the grease gun cartridge style thing. Any recommendation from the experts before I mix them all together? I am hoping to drop it into salt water as well as fresh water as many times as I can. Thanks Go out and buy some waterproof wheel bearing grease. Mixing two different greases might work but might also not work. Grease is cheap, why not use the right stuff. The grease fitting is so that you can flush out any water after you get the wheels wet. Pump grease in until clean grease squirts out. Cheers, Bruce |
