[quote=turbohobo]Reading all this talk about trailers and maintenance made me go out and check on my trailer, am getting ready to haul cat down to Myrtle Beach, SC, some 1100 miles, and have had checking the wheel bearings on my check-list.
So I jack the trailer up on jack-stands, spin the right hand wheel, feels and sounds good, spin the left side wheel......ominous grinding sound, bummers. Take off both wheels, drop the axle, whip off bearingbuddy covers, remove retainer clip, extract spring and plunger cap, knock off bearingbuddy cylinder, remove split-pin, remove spindle nut, take off hub and remove bearings, a 20 min job. Outer bearing gone but I'll replace all 4 bearings and keep the other 3 as spares. I'm off to get some new bearings from O'Reilley's and some grease, will repack new bearings in some new grease, all-in-all a 40 min job that will save me a lot of grief on the roadtrip.
If anyone wants, I can post a step-by-step pic procedure in Tech Help Gallery.
