    Default Trailer Bearings


    Alright after a year i'm ready to pull her out. How do you know when to get the bearing checked on your trailer tires.

    Also what type of lube do you all suggest.
    Love, what more can I say

    If you jack the wheel up off the ground try to wiggle the wheel, there should be very little play in it. I use synthetic grease and I also invested in bearing buddies
    A positive additude may not fix all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worthwhile.

    A bearing buddy is a worksaver, as per locoman, otherwise you'll have to remove the bearings and repack them if in doubt. You can get Marine bearing grease at WalMart and it's not expensive.

    If you don't use berring buddies, clean and repack at least once a year.
