[QUOTE="jethro, post: 456976, member: 12381"] Agreed. I have been overgreasing my trailers for years, often greasing the hubs 6-10 times a year. This past year I bought my first brand new trailer, a snowmobile trailer. I bought it from the northeast's largest trailer retailer by far, they sell 7000 units annually. I was told that the best practice was one, single squirt of high quality bearing grease at the beginning of the season and THAT IS IT. Any more is detrimental and can push the seals out the back. And before you think "well of course they say that, they want your service work in 3 years when those hubs fail"... they are 5 hours drive from me and know they aren't getting any of my service work.
