Dexter Axles
Most newer trailers come with Dexter EasyLube Axles. These are supposed to simplify the requirement to lube the bearings every 12 months by applying grease to the Zerk fitting. However, most "experts"...

My old trailer had regular (old fashioned)bearings and I hand packed them every few years. Had plenty of experience from bearings on cars.
It looks like the EZ Lube is a different breed of cat. From what I have gleaned from the Internet is that the inner bearing doesn't come out like the old style but requires a tool to break it loose.
I assume that removal of the hub is about like the old ones with a retainer and nut.
Haven't seen any decent instructions on the job but I am a little hesitant to tackle it without knowing what I am doing. All you see is hit the Zerk with a grease gun and you are good to go. Question is how far?????
Anybody have any suggestions or pointers?
