It seems that my 2013 Montana allows a fairly simple way to grease the bearings without removing the wheels. I watched a utube video and bought a grease gun and tried it myself. The video suggests pumping in enough grease so that all the old grease is removed. Since there was black grease there already, I bought red. I pumped until red was starting to come out, but it took the whole tube. Now I am worried I did something to damage the seal and grease leaked into the brakes. I can't seem to get the brakes to slow down the rig like before.
I contacted lippert and was told there was probably no way I could have damaged the seals, but each wheel should not have taken a whole tube. Did I do something wrong?
