Bearing this, bearing that....

...and 'bearing' no chance of sitting on the shoulder of the highway, because I didn't do any bearing clean, inspect, and repack . Did that yesterday and good for another 10,000 miles or one year...

Folks, remember to clean, inspect and/or replace and then REPACK with the best syn grease you wish to purchase.

Peace of mind...and the next time you see an R.V., a T.T., or a boat trailer on the side of the road with a missing wheel....you all heard of spin the bottle? Yep...and this could be 'spin' the destroyed bearing off of the spindle...

Repack, have peace of mind, and be done with it!

Happy wheel rotations!

If it's a boat, you've gotta have bearing buddies and give it a squirting every time you dunk it. Especially in salt water.

If folks were to follow that advice, they'd have over packed hubs in no time, based no boat launch frequency. I check and repack the boat trailer wheel bearings once every other year. They always look flawless. I've never been a big fan of bearing buddies. But, that's just me.
