RV wheelbearing grease

Wheel bearings, whether they’re on an RV or a trailer of some sort, are essential in helping the wheels spin easily and freely. They need to be lubricated regularly so that they operate at their best capacity. Greasing, or repacking, trailer bearings is an important part of trailer maintenance, and thankfully it doesn’t take long to do! Remove the wheel and take apart the hub until you can access the bearings. From there, you’ll clean them and repack them with new grease. Reassemble the hub and replace the wheel before moving on to the next one.

Tip: Before removing the tire, test the sturdiness of the jacks. After the jacks have been engaged, wiggle the trailer with your bodyweight to see if the jacks stay in place. Make sure that the jacks aren’t at risk of slipping out of place before you begin the rest of your task.
