I'll provide the 6-7 year old trailer tires this time!

Hurry... before I mount the 7 new ones!

oh, and I'll even give you details about my secret high-tech bearing maintenence program...
pretty obvious you weren't paying attention the last time.

works pretty good. Eleven trailers of all desciptions and I haven't been beside the road with a bearing failure yet!

How nice is that?

Be careful, I think Twins has one of those tough guy Jap trucks. I'll be running the Red Ripper and draging a Fastech Racin' 353.

We're all friends here, who the F would cheat or do anything underhanded. What ever happened to honest good old boys?

I'm sure Dave has a "butt" cam guy that can hook up with you, I wouldn't bend over during the install though.


MUD I"M OUT!!!

Hook her up, I'll call Twins, 5 Inch, and Bob, weather is going to chit this weekend for boating, might as well have some fun on the road.

This trailer is (quote) brand new, I honestly figured it would make it thru the first 500 miles without major maintence issues. Guess I was all wrong on that. ( Call me stupid. ) Someone forgot to mention the salt water dunking several times. Wouldn't have made a rats arse of a difference here, the salt had already pitted all the bearings, a case of JT-6 could not have prevented the failure of the high quality Chinese bearings. All new now, packed with JT-6 from Tractor Supply, and working fine.

if they were properly packed/full (by whoever) in the first place, the SW never would have gotten to them.

you've got easy-lube spindles right?

just grease, grease, greese 'emm, all the time...
hit 'em with the gun every time you think about it, even if the trailer hasn't been anywhere.

I do.

I have a "butt-cam", though it spends it's time on a tripod.

I do.

I need to ask..If you keep greasing them..Will you not at some point start pushing a seal out or grease?? The grease has to go someplace..
