    Any of you ever have grease slinging out of your bearings onto your wheels after you grease the trailer? How do you stop this? Thanks.

    Sounds like you over packed them & blew the barring seals out. Just my guess. Jim C.

    If you have the buddy style bearing caps and put to much grease in them it will ooze around the seal and get all over the rim. It is also possible the seal just went bad. Just my two cents but both have happened to me.

    Left side of mine is goofy and has a tendency to sling grease. I've been into it a couple times and something just ain't right. Gonna go do it again with a little tlc and see what happens. Changed right side bearing at the same time and never had a problem.

    a little to much grease
    All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

    Might be too much greese? But I had rather have too much and slung on back of wheel than stranded on side of i40 fixing burned out bearings with 18 wheelers going by me at 80 mph!

    Looks like what we need in NEAR is a spring bearing camp.
