Annually so interior brake components can be checked. There is no sane way to avoid this.

A friend has a 3 axle flatbed trailer with surge brakes. The trailed documented a few DOZEN trips coast to coast. Now has perhaps a quarter million miles on it. The bearings were lubed with Lubrication Engineers, Almaguard 3752

IN 1976

Fact not fiction...

Thanks, Mex. I was hoping you'd post the name of that grease again. Now, to find some.

Your wish is my command :)

Buy it here, online, at the LE website

No it isn't cheap.
But this scrooge would buy it even at twice the price.

Penny wise dollar foolish people would criticize the cost.
When 10 years pass, guess who gets The Last Laugh?

Yeah, it's -that- good.

In an emergency, I lubed a TT bearing that had NO SEAL. It had been destroyed along with the bearing and race. The owner then wrote me from Guadalajara Mex (days before email) and reported he drove from Antigua, Guatemala to Puebla Mexico and only a -tiny- smidgen, a fleck of grease had exited the wide-open bearing bore. If there ever was a genuine miracle chassis lube - this would be it. I drove a Jeep, so deep in stream crossings water came in and out of the doors. This stuff laughed it off.
