[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 93239, member: 1159"] How old is your trailer & when was the last time the bearings were re-packed? If you do have grease fitting under cap, when is the last time you added grease? I just took my grease caps off for the first time since [u]1999[/u]. The grease is fine, still packed tight, a little water but over all fine. I put on a pair of bearing buddies I bought 8 years ago and never got around to putting them on before yesterday. Pumped them full of grease & away we go. Didnt bother to repack the bearings, why mess with what aint broke? That said, since you are going on a long trip, maybe taking thetime to repack the bearings is worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
