[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 418002, member: 20605"] I have that axle bearing setup you are lucky you have it you pull that plug and clean off the grease, you will see a zerk fitting in the center or the axle shaft. To grease the bearings, all you do is pump grease in the zerk. There is a hole in the shaft that exits at the inner bearing and it forces all the old grease out through the outer bearing If you want to change the grease out without taking everything apart all you do is remove that plug and start pumping grease until you see clean grease in the cup. I take the cup off to make it neater and easier. After you flush the old grease out and you see clean grease coming out of the outer bearing, you are done it works really well. I have the setup on a few trailers. If you overload the grease in the cup it can start to ooze out past the rubber plug when it heats up, another reason to remove the cup and just wipe the old grease out of there and replace it after its all cleaned up if you do not see the zerk fitting either it broke off or something happened to it, or someone just put those caps on there. But thats what they are for [/QUOTE]
