Learn how to repack the wheel bearings on a trailer in this video from Boats.net!
John’s trailer has been around since 1986. One way he keeps it rolling along is by repacking the wheel bearings and maintaining the other hub components every year.
In this video, John will walk you through how to repack your trailer bearings. This involves disassembling the hub, using a hand bearing packer to force the old grease out of the bearings and replace it with new grease, and also replace the seals on his hub.
As for the grease, John is using an NLGI class GC-LB grease to repack his wheel bearings, which is a grease rated for chassis and wheel bearing lubrication.

Seems it would be prudent to thoroughly clean and inspect the bearings, races and internals of the hubs with mineral spirits. Hard to see small pits with grease all over everything. I have Dexter Vault hubs which require a totally different procedure and special lube to service. They only need service about every 5 years. The additional seals in this design help prevent water intrusion.

For salt water launches, every year service/check is a good idea. For fresh water launches, if you have replaced them and know all is good, your choice. I recommend if you buy a used trailer, replace with new hub kits to establish a base line, where you know what you have.

Thank you for this helpful video. Is it possible to use a Speedi-Sleeve to repair the axle where it is pitted instead of changing it?

@chrislovelace8957 Месяц назад

Where do I find the 3 step seal you talked about in the video? My bearing kit number is: Trailer Tech K 3500 EZ. Thanks

@fredhonaker5865 2 месяца назад

My Stratos trailer has stainless wear rings where the seal rides , that’s where your pitting was ! Can you not install wear rings and avoid an axle replacement?

@ryans7679 6 месяцев назад

Great video! Question: If I have the bearing buddy with the grease zerk should I have to do this procedure every year or just keep adding grease as needed? Thank you. At the end I did notice you do have the one with the grease zerk. Every year from what I take it. Is the Dexter bearings and seal universal for an EZ loader trailer? Thanks 👍🏻

@larrykaminski8206 Месяц назад

have you ever had the bearing race loose in the hub? and what did you do about it? new hub or Loctite?

@Daniil02423 5 месяцев назад

Do Honda and Tohatsu have the same diagnostic connectors?

@bkilpatr100 9 дней назад

Why do trailer bearings need to be repacked/replaced so often when I only need to repack my truck bearings every 80K miles or so?

@jjohnston6645 2 месяца назад

Can't you change the bearing sleeve on the axle?

@rtz549 Месяц назад

No sleeve on it.

@ammogiant824 Месяц назад

Why not just use break clean to clean the bearings and then repack the bearings.

@arthurjock4179 Месяц назад

Why not show how to pack the bearings the old way!

@jasony9950 Месяц назад

Because… he doesn’t do it the old way. Plenty of videos out there for that.

@rtz549 Месяц назад

Too loose. With the tire on the play or shake will feel like a loose bearing.

@garyvukich5790 7 дней назад

Bad move -you should have cleaned all the old grease from the bearing with solvent,dried it, inspected it before adding new grease

@phil8212 6 дней назад

In his defense he did just redo bearings last year and it appeared that there was no moisture in the hub. But he really should have people about using a seal driver to keep it square going in
