1. Go to AL-KO web site. Dexter bought them out to gobble up more market share IMO No big deal.

- RV delivery guy probably had one go bad sometime in the past and now over greases every unit he picks up till grease is about dripping on the ground. Not uncommon problem. And you have no idea what type of grease or quality. I'm sure he spent big bucks on it also:B
- Brakes were not defective when they left manufacture. But they were first time delivery guy stopped and shot a tube each in to each axle.

See if dealer and manufacture will each chip in 1/2 each. Then do the work yourself so you know it's done right. Do not let them talk you into cleaning up old shoes. Once grease is in, it is IN. No brake clean, gas etc. You need new shoes!
