bearing service

60 a pop is the standard here

BOB213, I kind of doubt that would include the seal but if it did, that is a heck of a price. Also I would have to figure in how many brown bottles it saved me!

I was at Discount Tire the other day and was quoted $25 per wheel for a repack. Don't know if that included a new grease seal, but at that price it almost makes me think twice about doing it myself.

id love to dump it on somebody else but I cant justify the cost of labour

X2. That is just what I do as well. I don't feel the urge to get into nearly as much "self maintenance" as I used to.

I used to get all four wheels done in an afternoon.

I take it over to my favorite trailer service place at lunch, drop it off and pick it back up before dinner.

If I could do mine in 2 hours, 30 minutes per wheel, including getting everything ready/putting away after, I'd gladly do it every year.

I have to say, I am way too fussy, in my cleaning, inspections, and adjustments. I can't say exactly, but if I did one side before lunch, I'd be happy to do the other side, and get things put away before dinner.

okie dokie. im not far off was just curious how slow I am hahaha

Getting the trailer off the ground I think is the most time consuming part. We lifted the trailer last year, so I need to go an extra 6 inches to get the tires off the ground. Once it's in the air I agree on the 30 mins per wheel time to do the bearings and check the brakes.

I agree, it takes about 30 minutes per wheel. Includes removing the wheel, drum, seal, cleaning and repacking the bearing, brake inspection, cleaning and adjustment, and reinstalling everything.
