2. Pack the bearings by forcing the
grease into all its small cavities. Fill
the cavity in the hub with grease.
3. Make sure the grease seals are in
usable condition.
4. Keep the bearings and grease free
of any dirt or foreign matter.
5. The wheel bearings should be re-
packed anytime the trailer is
stored.
6. If the trailer is often moved in the
water, the chances of getting water
in the bearings increase. Bearings
should then definitely be packed at
least twice during the season.
7. Towing a trailer over long distan-
ces has its good points and bad
points. Doing so may warm the
hub and grease it up enough to re-
move any water it may have col-
lected. However, moving the warm
hubs into the water shortly after a
long tow will cause them to take on
water through condensation. It is
therefore important to let them cool
before backing into the water.
8. Be sure the bearings are properly
adjusted (Refer to Bearing Adjust-
ment ). In most instances, if a good
quality lubricant is used and the lu-
bricant levels are maintained, it
may not be necessary to com-
pletely repack the bearings. How-
ever, if the grease appears to be
contaminated or broken down,
completely repack to remove all of
the old grease from the bearings
and hubs. Removing the rear bear-
ing will most likely damage the rear
seal. Install a new one when
reassembling.

The wheel bearings have been pread-
justed at the factory. However, check-
ing the bearing adjustment after the
first 80.5 km (50 miles) of use and
checking again every time the bear-
ings are repacked will maximize their
life.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1. Using a jack, lift one side of the
trailer.
2. Grip the edge of the wheel and try
to rock it or move it. If there is a
play, remove the dust cap and the
cotter pin.
3. While rotating the wheel, tighten
the spindle nut to specifications.
Do not over tighten.

4. Look for the hole in the spindle
through the slots in the spindle nut.
– If you can see any part of the
hole through the slot in the nut,
turn the nut counterclockwise
until the next slot in the nut
lines up with the cross hole. In-
sert cotter pin.
– If you cannot see any portion of
the hole in the spindle through
the slots in the nut, turn the nut
counterclockwise until the hole
lines up with the first slot avail-
able in the nut. Insert cotter pin.
– This adjustment will give you
from one-thousandths to ten
thousandths end play, which is
in tolerance for proper
adjustment.
5. Check wheel again for the move-
ment. If there is no lateral move-
ment, spin the wheel. Wheel
should turn easily and have no end
play.
6. Bend the ends of the cotter pin to
keep it from coming off.
N N O O T T E E : : A large cotter pin must be
used to fill the hole for the Sure Lube
system to work properly.
