Greasing Trailer Wheels
I have been told that you need to jack up and turn wheels with the center grease fittings as you pump in the grease. Is this true? I've been doing it and its a pain to jack up all 4 wheels. Thanks B...

Alright... I have a question..
I will admit.. We made a mistake when we were greasing the axles. I had a nail in a tire, jacked it up to remove the tire.
We saw the ez lube fitting and used a grease gun, to push grease in until I saw fresh grease coming out. Did it slowly.. Cougar 293SAB w/ Dexter EZ lube..
We did not rotate the tire as we did it.. We went ahead and did the rest of the tires.
(Look, I am aware I did it wrong and should have checked the manual.)
My question is this.. I am leaving Saturday on our trip..
What should I look for to see if I am gonna have issues? There is a rest stop 20 miles up the road that I will stop at...
I would not worry too much about it. Did you adjust the brakes as well? If so check the temps on the brakes at a stop. If that one is much cooler than the rest something may be wrong with the brake. It could be covered in grease or have another issue.
