Re: epic trip - Canadian rockies
What an epic trip. 7036 kilometres. Some crazy switchbacks, steep gradients, great campsites, bear, bison, deer, elk, sheep, goat. Great family stories and adventures. Lots of hot springs. Even a tramway! Met great people along the way. The bear shaped licence plate helped I think in meeting folks. Great truck trailer combo as no issues at all. Maybe Whitehorse next year. Thanks for the advice. This forum helped make this a great trip.684Views0likes0CommentsRe: How much grease in the Ez lube?
Went back today with another tube of grease and all four are now done. Two full tubes of grease and a bit did all four hubs. Pulled a wheel and checked the drum. No issues. No gross grease coming out where the grease is supposed to come out either, just nice new grease so I think they had the bare minimum at the factory and that was it. Travelled about 6000 kliks with no grease? I always touch the hubs every time I stop as a habit and they were never hot. The grease came out as was supposed to. I had bailed just too early as each hub needed just a bit more. Wheels are fine, brakes are fine.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How much grease in the Ez lube?
****! Want to get it right though so thanks for the input. I will spend another ten bucks and get some more tubes. It's the first time I have done it so I was surprised that they were not full already, even with old grease. Agree with the point raised that the factory probably just put enough in and no more. Had EZ Lubes on a utility trailer that I abused and every time I greased it, the old grey grease just came out right away. Have to admit with the brakes, I started to get worried. I think I will put in more grease and keep pumping until new grease comes out like you are supposed to, and then take a tire off and check the brake drum for piece of mind. Bought a Trailer Aid to lift the tires and it works really well.345Views0likes0CommentsHow much grease in the Ez lube?
Typical greasing of the EZLube requires how much grease? Half tube? Quarter tube? Pushed a quarter tube in and nothing coming out. Almost half a tube in another. Can't be that much grease needed? Pile of videos and diagrams out there but not how much grease would be typical.13KViews0likes74Comments
