    While back I had the same problem when my team driver was on duty, he didn’t pay attention to the warning service light and the pressure built up in the axle then blew the cap window, drained the oil, Efed up the bearing, and I had to reweld the damaged spindle end and changed everything else involved. Now, on the other axle, I can hear a strong leaking sound from the system, and I know for sure there is a little bit of bubbling in the oil that I can see from the hub cap window, so I’m guessing it’s the same problem. Thanks to your video, I can better service the issue, but I thought you would check the connection of the supply line in the new hub for leaks before you bolt it back on. Thanks again, great upload. 👍

    What if you only seem to develop an axle leak after driving for a while? Being the morning when i air the system up it never leaks but after running for a little bit i can hear it when i do a walk around.

      Honestly I'm not sure what would cause that, but if air is coming out of that tube in the axle at any time there is a problem. Either a malfunctioning auto inflate hubcap or a leak in hose inside the axle feeding the hubcaps.

    i facing same issue on my trailer mechanic said he found air leak from hub cap seal inside & change 2 hub cap seals but still air leak from vent axle air flow is this normal after some time it’s stop leaks and sometime stay leaking for while

      No it's not normal...If you have a similar system as shown in this video, then any air coming out of the vent in the axle is bad. By hub cap seal do you mean the thin gasket between the hub and hub cap? If so then this wouldn't be the cause of your problem. Air coming out of axle vent on this system means either the airlines inside the axle have developed a leak (unlikely), or the hubcap rotary union wears out and starts leaking (very likely).

    Great video ! Very informative.
    I want to install this tire inflation system on my flatbed soon .
    Tell me something please. How do you remove the old spindle plug to install the new one where the hose is passing through!?
    Thank you!

      Thanks!! Google "welsh plug removal spear". Basically a tool that threads into the plug coupled with a slide hammer and you can pull them out pretty easy. When you order the tire auto inflation installation kit, it should have new plugs to install. Just make sure to tell them your axle size.
