Bearing Repack

[pyoung47]

1. Lippert axles with Zerk.
2. Greased a couple times in 7 years.
3. Never inspected disassembled -- used zerk fitting to grease.
4. All four outside bearings show some pitting, and were replaced.
5. Locally obtained bearing/race worked fine in first hub, but replacement race would not fit in second.
6. Obtained parts from Lippert that did work.
7. Observed no seal failure as a result of zerk greasing.
8. All bearings were holding sufficient grease when disassembled.
9. Would suggest inspection/reps king at less than seven year interval.
10. Suggest ordering parts from manufacturer. Seals were hard to find locally.

Please, no "Shame on you!" Posts.

Glad you got the service taken care of! I called Lippert this Spring, to ask about seal # for the EZ-lubes, as I wanted to have the seals in hand before taking apart. They mentioned right away, that the seals would be hard to find, and offered to ship some to me.

I have to say, they were great to talk with, and sent my seals promptly!
