Inspection, Service, and Maintenance
apply in all cases. It is best to have your tires inspected by a tire supplier to determine if your tires need to be
replaced.
If you are storing your trailer for an extended period, make sure the tires are fully inflated to the maximum
rated pressure and that you store them in a cool, dry place, such as a garage. Use tire covers to protect the
trailer tires from the harsh effects of the sun.

If the trailer has been struck, or impacted, on or near the wheels, or if the trailer has struck a curb, inspect the
rims for damage (i.e. being out of round); and replace any damaged wheel. Inspect the wheels for damage
every year, even if no obvious impact has occurred.

A loose, worn or damaged wheel bearing is the most common cause of brakes that grab.
To check your bearings, jack trailer and check wheels for side-to-side looseness. If the wheels are loose, or
spin with a wobble, the bearings must be serviced or replaced.
Most trailer axles are built with sealed bearings that are not serviceable. Sealed bearings must be replaced as
complete units.
6.2.9.1. Unsealed Bearings (Hubs)
If your trailer has unsealed axle bearings, they must be inspected and lubricated once a year or 12,000 miles
to insure safe operation of your trailer.
If a trailer wheel bearing is immersed in water, it must be replaced.
If your trailer has not been used for an extended amount of time, have the bearings inspected and packed
more frequently, at least every six months and prior to use.
Follow the steps below to disassemble and service the UNSEALED wheel bearings.
•
After removing the grease cap, cotter pin, spindle nut and spindle washer (items 7-10 in “Exploded
Wheel Bearing” figure), remove the hub and drum to inspect the bearings for wear and damage.
•
Replace bearings that have flat spots on rollers, broken roller cages, rust or pitting. Always
replace bearings and cups in sets. The inner and outer bearings are to be replaced at the same
time.
•
Replace seals that have nicks, tears or wear.
•
Lubricate the bearings with a high quality EP-2 automotive wheel bearing grease.
Every time the wheel hub is removed and the bearings are reassembled, follow the steps below to check the
wheel bearings for free running and adjust.
•
Turn the hub slowly, by hand, while tightening the spindle nut, until you can no longer turn the hub
by hand.
