If the Pennsylvania inspections are anything like the Missouri inspections, they mostly go through the motions. And they pull every brake hub? What do those inspections cost? Missouri inspections are $10-12, but we also don't have trailer inspections.
Also, FWIW, it isn't hard to pull the hubs without getting grease everywhere. Basically the grease is in exactly the same places as it would be with a regular hub, just a bit more of it. And not really that much more. A non-issue IOW.
In PA, they pull one hub on each axle. The rest of the inspection is visual checks of lights, tires, chains, registration etc. I have never had an inspection done that it wasn't worse afterward. Dirty wrong grease added, too small cotter pin, bearing adjustment way off, lugs at less than half torque spec., lugs stripped, damaged hub caps and axles jacked from near center. I could write a book, but the "never had a problem" crowd wouldn't believe a word of it because they never follow up on the work that was done.
Cost is about $30.
Don't think for a minute that these clowns won't get grease on the brakes.
