Greasing tow trailer axles
I would like to grease the wheel bearings on my 2011 StarCraft TT. It has electric drum brakes. I bought Mystik No.2 Hi-Temp Multi Purpose Grease. Is this OK to use? My TT has the axle grease zerk...

Agreed on repacking / inspecting.
There really isn't a "port" that grease will come out of. At some point it may squeeze out the front, but it has to come trough the outer bearing. To do that, it requires a lot of grease (and pressure) to get the grease through the front bearing, and at that point, it may very well blow past the rear seal and spew in to the brake drum.
See my story: Brakes contaminated by overfilling the bearing cavity with grease.
