Spent the last 2.5 hours doing some maintenance on the trailer. New, complete hub kit (wheel bearings races, hub etc) pulled the old ones off, glad I did noticed some water in one. Have some tires on order to replace the worn ones. I am having those mounted & balanced tomorrow or Saturday AM.





Also put on some side marker lights for some added safety & visibility of the trailer. I almost had a lady come through a stop sign and hit me, hopefully an added marker light in front of the tire will keep that from happening again.

I put it on the threads & that's it. If your axle is good your hub should slide right on & off without issues if its burred up you may need to tap it on or tighten spindle nut to get it on there all the way.

Oh yea man im a trailer fixing machine did it for a living for a while at a place in tomball, we always just put the anti seize on the back of the seal to keep it from corroding and losing all your grease from the backside

oncall, to be honest I never put any of those on, i know there's only certain ones you can put them on, but i can say i never saw any come into our shop, and you would be amazed what people do their to their trailers, especially landscapers

Coe you pack them bearings real good with greese cause just putting grease in the grease zerk after assembly WILL NOT WORK, your bearings will burn up in know time.

And dude buy you a nice little floor jack and some stands, be little bit safer about this.....hahahahahaha
