Greasing EZ Lube TT axles

Bought a 2002 Fleetwood Prowler 1 1/2 years ago. This is our first RV. Everything was in very good condition. Never thought to check the bearings or brakes. Seemed to stop ok and when I would check the hubs at rest stops, they were never hot. Wanted to check it all out before we headed out this year. Since I wasn't too sure how to do it, I had a friend of mine come over to show me how to check and grease bearings. All of my bearings were fine. But my brakes were a different story. The rear axle brakes basically fell apart when we pulled the drum off. Springs were broke on one side with no pad whatsoever. The magnet was not connected and one of the pads fell off on the other side. Wiring was also broke in the axle, which was a good thing, other wise they would have been working and could have made a real big mess. Front axle brakes seemed ok, but we went ahead and put new brakes all the way around. Now, I will check my bearings/brakes every spring before I head out. Taking a day to do this will be worth it to me.
