I have never understood why people think these are a good thing. You don't add grease to your wheel bearings on your car so why would you on a trailer?

If anyone thinks doing a bearing repack is a hassle, you should try replacing bearings... The bearing cup that is in the drums are extremely hard to remove because there is almost no protruding lip on the cup to get a drift onto.

I ended up using a length of 1-1/2" pipe (or might have been 1") to get more contact with the almost non-existent lip on the cup. Cleaning & repacking bearings is easy peasy in comparison to replacing them and those who are mechanically inclined shouldn't shy away from doing it themselves.Dave H M wrote:Years ago, when common sense was still used, the hubs had notches for a punch. Now, many are built with little or no amount of the bearing cup exposed, therefore no place for a punch to engage it.
I just did four and did not have any problem. maybe your drift is too soft or more patience was in order.
