Q about trailer wheel bearings
I just pulled off the wheels to replace the tires (cracked side walls),
and I'm wondering about the wheel bearings. I see a grease gun fitting threaded into a cup, which is captured by a 'C' ring. The grease gun fitting looks pretty rusty itself. Should I replace the zerk and pump in new grease, or should I take the whole cup out, flush out the old grease, put the cup back in with a new grease gun fitting and start fresh? Anything else I should look at while I'm in there? Ken |

Make sure you put in a new grease seal and new split pins. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ab_tra...788278,00.html http://www.off-road.com/chevy/tech/wheel_bearings/ http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doity...h_bearing1.htm |
