Okay, a little time has passed and some updating is in order. The shaking was definitely the one bearing I took off, not being tight enough when reassembled. I did replace the grease seals on all four, re-packed all the bearings and adjusted the brakes. Brakes were about five clicks out of adjustment. All pulls normally now and braking is improved as well. No shaking. Thanks for the replies. Happy Trails, david
NEVER use the grease Zerk to properly lube or think you are packing an AXLE bearing. The ONLY correct way is to either hand pack the brearings or use the funnel type bearing packer with a grease gun. You repack to push the OLD grease out and pack with new fresh grease. The axle Zerc fittings are usually for boat trailers to help keep water out. You still pack Boat trailer bearings as I outlined above. Doug
