    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    You must have old vehicles. I haven't seen a zerk on an OEM ball joint or tie rod for over 20 years.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    All the seals that came on my travel trailer with Dexter axles had double lip seals. When I pull my hubs and repack my bearings, I replace them with Timken or National seals that are not made in China like the original dexter bearings and seals are. On my my travel trailer, first thing i did...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    Or you just don't use this flawed procedure. I bought a used pontoon boat and puled all the hubs. Every hub had corroded inner bearings. The previous owner had been using the LAZ-Lube method. Sorry...don't trust it one bit.

    That's exactly what he claimed he did. A bunch of people jumped on him thinking he did it incorrectly. He described exactly how he did it. A few other people chimed in and the same thing happened to them. Even Dexter says to remove the hubs annually. Don't use the LAZ-Lube method and this won't...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    LOL...versus never removing the hubs and having to pour water on them so the wheel/tire doesn't catch on fire! I guess I will take the removing the hub option over pouring the water on a failed bearing/hub option. I am sure you will need to get in your last word!

    Or in your case, the balance was on the side close to none. Do you not change the oil regularly in your car because you may accidentally not tighten the oil drain plug tight enough and the oil is going to leak out.? Your grain of sand comment with packing wheel bearings shows you have ZERO...

    My new trucklet!

    We are about to pull the trigger on a 2022 Plug in hybrid 2022 Santa Fe. Not sure I would tow much more than 2K with it though. Impressive tech on these Hyundais. I had no idea until I saw one in person.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    If you were backing your pickup into water multiple times in a year...you might! Regular maintenance is the key. Pulling the hubs is the way you do it. Not just shooting grease into the LAZ-Lube zerks.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    If you are the type of person that might get sand in your hub while inspecting bearings, you should probably hire someone to maintain your trailer. Personally, I think it's kind of funny when I hear people bragging about minimizing their maintenance. Not something I think I would be bragging about.

    Jacking a tandem axle trailer safely

    2T=4000# You don't need to get both wheels off the ground. Just the one that is flat. Half of the weight on one side will still be on the good tire. I have a 26' boat*not quite as heavy as yours) and I have no issues using it on it. Get a 3000# aluminum jack. I have a big tote that I carry a...

    Jacking a tandem axle trailer safely

    I carry an aluminum 2 ton floor jack with me when I tow. Your plan of driving the good tire will work fine. You may not even have to jack up the flat tire depending on the trailer.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    Well.... obviously your maintenance plan needs to change. You need to start pulling the hubs.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    So..out of curiosity, how often do you pull your hub to inspect bearings? And I am not talking about just pushing grease thru with the LAZ-lube "feature"...actually taking off the hub.
