Wheel Bearing Maintenance

RSS Feed

Grease Trailer wheel bearings every month if Trailer is used weekly. Failure to do so can cause severe and extensive damage to wheel hub axle spindles. Check wheel bearings to make sure that they do not move.  To do this, be sure to chock a wheel that you are not checking so that the Trailer does not move. Next, push in and pull out on the top of the wheel. If the wheel moves, this indicates that there is slack in the bearing and they need to be adjusted and repacked with grease. Alvin Marine provides complete Trailer servicing. If you have questions regarding your Trailers wheel bearings, feel free to call or come by and see us.

Happy Boating!
