I have a Skyline Koala 21C Travel Trailer. Are there any videos on repacking wheel bearing on a Skyline Koala 21C Travel Trailer?

The make of the trailer does not have anything to do with the bearings - they are all the same.
Take a look at this post, stuck in the Towing forum, for a pictorial on how to not only inspect and pack the bearings, but how to do a brake job/inspection also. ๐Ÿ™‚

Axle/wheel bearing on most rv trailers repack the same so google several "how to" vids and repack the easy way for you.
