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.
