Les Schwab has done good work for me several times and in various towns. Let them repack or replace your trailer bearings as needed and tow with peace of mind. On Sep 30, 2016 2:51 PM, "Steve Trapp" <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:

Hi David,
Go to YouTube and look up replacing trailer wheel bearings. I found a whole series of videos showing you how it is done.

Yes. Thanks for the reference, Dave.
I don't think I pump up my Bearing Buddies too much but I do get some grease coming out of them and getting here and there. It is likely time to replace the seals. One thing I am completely naive about is rebuilding trailer hubs. I assume bearings, bearing races, and seals are all replaceable at the same time and by an amateur such as myself, but I don't have a clue where to get the parts or how to know what to get. I could image the races may require some special equipment. Can anyone share any experiences or provide any advice? Thanks.
