And fix all the water damage from the leaks you didnt repair in the fall......or am I the only bonehead that did that?
My trailer has been buried behind my dad's house under snow all winter...I'm assuming it has just rusted into the ground at this point. Bike racks should support a motard, right?

And check the brakes!

ya know, last year when you posted a reminded about trailer bearing I thought, damn I should do mine. I never did and now I've sold it. I did tell the guy he should repack the bearings though.

Good reminder Jimmy... I need to do mine. I should probably replace them at some point, I've never done them on the little utility trailer.

Did this couple months ago! Along with a new tire. After paying $50 at Bennys to get a new tire put on, I saw that Harborfreight is selling entire rim/tire for $50. Doh!
I dont' trailer my bike, but as a snowmobiler I have a ton of experience with trailers and bearings.
Before the begining of each season a shot of greese to both wheels, and checking tire pressures (including the spare) is always a must. One extra thing I like to do is break the lug nuts free and tighten them back down to spec. This ensures they will come off with ease if you get a flat. It sounds petty, but I have experienced getting a flat on a trailer where the lug nuts were rusted on and it wasn't fun. If you go long periods of time without removing the wheels it's worth doing once a season.
Granted, the conditions for a snowmobile trailer are a lot harsher due to the time of year we are using them but you can never be too careful.
It looks like you blew a seal.
What, no, no, it's just ice cream...
Ya have to break them all down,clean'em up and anaylze and ck for pitting inside brg. and inner race
If they are odd ball numbers to your parts man you take them to South Shore Brg. @ Furnace pkwy. express in Quincy and they will match them up for you.
The best grease to use is the Amsoil Synthetic for them also -

How much grease should be in the hub area? I'm reading everything from a light coat, 1/3 full, to completely packed. It seems like a 'what kind of oil should I use' type question.
Whut? Who the hell says "light coat"?
Fully packed. If you have zerk fittings you should pump grease in there until it oozes out the seams.
If you don't have zerk fittings you should install them and see above.
