Wheel bearing re packed , price?

You might check someplace that sells and services utility trailers. I had mine done at one in the area and they did a very good job.

We just had ours done for $236. Quote was for $200 (+) parts. One of the seals had leaked and onto the brake pads. Initially they wanted to do whole new brakes. My favorite mechanic stepped in and was able to clean up the pad pretty good. After we picked it up my husband says it breaking so much better. Apparently, on the way to the RV dealer he had to turn up the brake controller because he wasn't stopping the way he wanted to. Go figure!

I think if I can't do it myself, I will pay what it takes to somebody I trust. $270 is not outrageous.

Every area is very different. My RV dealer charged $125 two years ago for two axles but I buy there & been dealing with then for years & their labor rate is only $65 hour.

tuscon jim has it down right ,get it in writing that this to be done some shops don,t change the seal BUT WILL charge you for new ones. any good mom pop garage can handle this.

And even if you get someone to do them for you, don't forget to retorque the lug nuts after fifty miles or so. Also check hubs for overheating after first drive.

Any garage should be able to do this.

I last had mine done at Goodyear store for $75.00 per axle. That was about 3 years ago. It ain't "RV Specific" so any good tire store should be able to do it for you. Oh, they did my boat trailer too.

Thanks Jim,
Will keep that in mind! The only dealer for KZ , is in Phx! I just bought a part or should I say, the local dealer did from Little Dealer in Mesa, after they damaged a tire cap, which at that time was a KZ dealer and isn't anymore!

When I purchased my 2007 Keystone Cougar piece of junk, I decided to check the bearing pack myself at about two years. I was amazed that all four of the bearings were nearly dry. They really only had about 1/4-1/3 of the grease they should have had. (Sorry - just venting about Keystone again).

I usually check mine at 1 or 2 years, then every 3 years after that. $250-$270 should include the following:

1. Remove the wheels/tires, drums, bearings and grease seals.
2. Inspect the brakes
3. Thoroughly clean the bearings of all residual grease, flush and dry.
4. Repack the bearings properly.
5. Replace the grease seals with new ones.
6. Install the bearings and hubs and PROPERLY adjust the bearing pre-load.
7. Install the wheels/tires and torque the lug nuts.
8. Adjust the brakes.
