Wheel Bearings

[tom woodward]

Why can I drive my truck or car in access of 200K miles and not have to repack the wheel bearings but you have to do them so frequently on the Montana?
Does anyone have a good video on doing this? I've seen a couple but looking for one that gives me the easiest way to go about it. I've packed bearings on airplanes so it's not difficult but I have four wheels to do on the Monte. Where is the best place to lift the side of the trailer? Electric jacks, not hydraulic.

Tom,

Your car and truck have had sealed bearings for the last 30 years or so. They are replaced when they go bad. The sealed bearing don't handle our trailer weights all that well although there are some out there.

Lots of good videos on YouTube. Look for Dexter videos on brake inspection and wheel bearing maintenance.
