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...

curious... are you pumping until you see grease come out of the front bearting or just putting a few pumps in there?
I am not quite sure how much to pump in. The instructions are vague. Too much will get on the brakes and too little won't reach all the bearings. Suggestions on how to tell?

There in is the problem. One is much better off to forget the grease fittings and repack the bears every few years. This gives you the change to inspect the brakes, bearings, races and replace the seals.
Just blindly pumping in grease is a fools journey! Chris
