Wheel bearing
Trailer wheel bearing oil or grease? I am converting my trailer to disk brakes and wondering what is best
Forum Discussion
First, seals made for greased hubs will not always hold oil.
For a vehicle that gets a lot of miles, grease will increase fuel consumption.
For years I maintained a storage trailer for a builder. It would set for months between moves. I packed the bearings on it so did not need to worry about leaks/contaminated brake shoes.
Can't see much advantage to oil bath bearings on RV trailer, except bragging rights.
