re-packing greasing the bearings / axle
Hello, how often should I be re-packing the bearings ? I have a 2003 forest river salem le If I don't tow it much, should I be doing it less often ? I've owned it for 3 years, only towed ...

Well jfkmk, you got me there. I'm clueless...........
Quick question though. If it's impossible to get grease to the inner bearings without disassembly or an easy lube ( that's where the spindle is line bored carrying grease to in between the 2 bearings, right? Help the clueless), then how can one push out the grease seal on a hub with bearing buddy's?
I'll help you out there. The grease can migrate through the outer bearing with very little pressure. In fact if you hold the grease gun flat against the outer bearing face, if there's room, you can push grease through the outer bearing no problem.
But I'm probably lying.
No, sorry Grit dog, the grease isn't going to magically migrate. And no, I don't think you're lying, just sadly clueless, at least when it comes to this subject.
