Re: Annual Brake Inspection and Axle Re - Lube (Pic's)
Taking temp readings on the rim in between the lug nuts, using a IR thermometer from Radio Shack. Bearings are packed with Mobile 1 synthetic. After packing the bearings I also adjusted the breaks,adjusted until I could not turn wheel then backed off enough wheel would spin 1 rotation. Maybe to tight on the break adjustment? I will take her out again and stay off the breaks and check temps again. Trailer weighs 10k, have a prodigy using boost setting of 2 with the gain of 10 needs a lot of break to slow her down. Thanks for all the information, this simple job has turned into a great learning experience.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Annual Brake Inspection and Axle Re - Lube (Pic's)
Just repacked today, one question did not soak bearings in cleaner, sprayed off with cleaner then dried with towels. Used a bearing packer seen some old grease oozing out and hopefully cleaner too. Have not pulled trailer yet just wondering if I should redo to make sure no cleaner was left in and has contaminated new grease.978Views0likes0Comments
