6. Bearing Repacking Ideally one would not have to be concerned about wheel bearings in that you would not have to get them submerged in the water when loading and unloading This is not the case in some instances so therefore preventative maintenance is required Because of the various types of ways in which people use a trailer it becomes difficult to say every 500 miles repack your bearings of after backing in the water 10 times repack your bearings Neither of the above can apply About the only thing that applies is good common sense Note the following 1 When water gets in the bearings and is on the steel itself it will rust So the most important part is get a good grade of wheel bearing grease that will not break down when water is mixed with it 2 Pack the bearings by forcing the grease into all the small cavities in the bearings 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 repacked anytime during the year that you plan on storing the trailer for a period of time 6 The more often you back your trailer in the water the more chance you stand of getting water in the bearings You should definitely be packing your bearings more often at least twice during the season if this is the situation 7 Towing a trailer numerous miles has its good points and bad points Long towings may warm
