greasing wheels
Just had the guys at the shop pull my drums. Only one brake was working the other 3 covered in grease. Said I put to much in this spring. Metal on metal so don't over do it with grease

Just inspected mine at 10 years and all was good. Replace the zerk with a plug and no more issues of greased shoes.Coach-man wrote:Shoot, that ain't gonna happen. I don't do that with any of my vehicles and I put a heck of a lot more miles on them than the toyhauler. After 6 years and about 15,000-20,000 miles everything looked fine: brakes, bearings, seals. I'm not about to start spending several hours every year pulling wheels from my triple axle toyhauler. That's a lot of time and effort, or money if I have someone do it. No thanks.
...Every year you should remove wheel and hub, clean and inspect brakes, check your seals, replace as required! ...
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
