Added Value of Bearing Repacking
Just completed replacing my bearings and seals, along with putting on new brake assemblies on all axles. My axles are E-Z Lube, but I have never used the system and preferred just removing and rep...

How often do you replace the whole assembly?
I am going on my 5th year with my TT probobly 2k miles a year so I know the brakes are not worn but rust and heat is the biggest enemy. On my prevoius TH I had 2 pads seperate from the holder and were loose in the brake drum, that happened the first year I had it.
I have the easy lube and I did check the bearings and grease them by hand when I first brought my Passport home and 2 years later. When I add grease with the zert fitting I always jack up the wheels and spin them while adding grease, it does take allot of grease to fill the first time though. I was thinking of changing out the whole assembly as well.
Also check you spring bolts, I had one fall out while back it into my barn when I brought it home for the first time, none of the bolts on one side were tightened down, I couldn't imagine what would happen if the axle came loose while towing down the road. I look at those bolts every trip, never trust your dealer, they did a spring flip before delivery because I go off road dry camping allot and wanted extra clearence.
