    For salt water launches, every year service/check is a good idea. For fresh water launches, if you have replaced them and know all is good, your choice. I recommend if you buy a used trailer, replace with new hub kits to establish a base line, where you know what you have.

    Seems it would be prudent to thoroughly clean and inspect the bearings, races and internals of the hubs with mineral spirits. Hard to see small pits with grease all over everything. I have Dexter Vault hubs which require a totally different procedure and special lube to service. They only need service about every 5 years. The additional seals in this design help prevent water intrusion.

    Bearing packer tip; I use a drill press, without a drill bit in the drill chuck. Works like magic and I pack an inner on the bottom with the outer on top. I used to use a bench vise before I got my drill press and that works good also.

    Great video! I actually prefer the twin cone shaped bearing packer that you attach your grease gun to. It forces the grease into the bearing much better and faster with little work.

    Install a Speedy Sleeve on that axle, and it will be good as new.
    Unless it's an emergency repair, there isn't any reason to reuse a cotter pin.

    Great video! Question: If I have the bearing buddy with the grease zerk should I have to do this procedure every year or just keep adding grease as needed? Thank you. At the end I did notice you do have the one with the grease zerk. Every year from what I take it. Is the Dexter bearings and seal universal for an EZ loader trailer? Thanks 👍🏻

    If a cotter key costs a dollar per, I would rather spend the dollar rather than spend a day looking for my wheel. But that's just me but I never reuse safety locks for wheel ends!

    Should’ve thrown the buddy bearing away. When using them, you only grease the outer bearing. Use the grease zerk on the axle for both bearings.

      @phil8212 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      In his defense he did just redo bearings last year and it appeared that there was no moisture in the hub. But he really should have people about using a seal driver to keep it square going in

    • @trustme7731
      @trustme7731 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Never use solvent to clean bearings. Residue remains on the metal and can react with the grease. The new grease should push everything out of the bearing.

    Why do trailer bearings need to be repacked/replaced so often when I only need to repack my truck bearings every 80K miles or so?

    • @Acelachaser1965
      @Acelachaser1965 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Especially for a boat trailer that goes in and out of the water all the time, water will still get into the grease over time and thin it out.
      Plus, that trailer is going to be sitting part of the year if you don’t use it all year-round so it’s not getting worked like a vehicle will.
      Grease sitting around from summer use to winter storage and back is not going to stay consistent.

    • @bkilpatr100
      @bkilpatr100 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Acelachaser1965 I guess another way to look at it is the tires are typically smaller than the vehicle tires, so they have to spin a lot faster. My small trailer is about a three to one ratio. So if I'm doing 50 miles an hour, that means my trailer tires are doing 150 mi an hour. The heat from that would wear out the grease fast I take it.
