Reply With QuoteA good idea to replace the seals every time you pack the bearings, and they are cheaper at the parts store than anywhere else most of the time. The seals get hard over time and let water in.

Yeah there's no telling how many of those caps that are supposed to keep that from happening i've replaces on mine. I have a tandem axle trailer with nice rims on it which are hard enough to keep clean without all that grease slung all over them. If you figure out what will stop it let me know too!Originally Posted by JigginPoleJoe

Wait 2 or 3 trips (not road trips) 'till you get home. Then grease it, watch for water squirting out on the axle side.....water is bad....no water it was probably over greased....if the seal has failed water will get in the hub and stay until its pushed out...quality bearings with a steel cage are tough, not indestructible...lesser bearings with plastic cages will send your wheel and hub flying (like a mayhem commercial) at the first hint of heat...if you go the redo route notice how many threads are outside the castle nut before it comes off it should go back to the same spot....good luck...past my bedtime...done rambling...
