Dexter easy lube axles

CAUTION BEWARE...... do not let anyone use a grease gun to pump grease into these axle's it will blow by the seals and put grease on your brake shoes and magnets and make them useless......I let a service guy talk me into letting him do it to avoid having to remove the wheels and bearings and grease them. I found out the hard way. Today I had disc brakes installed and the inside the hubs was saturated with grease and the shoes had soaked it up and were useless to stop the trailer. So be forwarded.......

  • If done right by Dexter directions they work fine. I have done mine three times with no problem. You just have to do it slow and easy and follow directions.
  • Thanks Bob. Just goes to show that even those who should know how these work, don't.
