Great instructional video ,I watched 20 or so videos trying to find out how to get the play out of the wheel yours was the only one in-depth enough that I could find that explained it . Thank You!

And from approx 7 min onwards if the jack slips you end up with 2 broken ankles and some crushed nuts. I found the video to be very helpful non the less. Thank you.

I had a problem with my trailer I went to KZfaq you’re the best video thank you very much got me out of a bind save me a lot of money.

First video I saw of yours. The wife walked in the room and said "he's from where you are I bet!". I'm in TX now but I was born raised in Western NC. Your accent seems normal to me but that might be because its the same as mine and I don't hear it. great video and thanks for taking the time to upload it!

As you guessed, the spindle is hollow and there is a hole in the spindle toward the back side of the bearing that lets the grease enter the bearing. It’s in the back which makes it grease from back to front. Which is nice when you want to refresh the grease, the new grease pushes the old grease out.

"Firearm or Fireworks?" We play the same game in Chicago, but not just on the 4th of July.

Just bought a new-to-me trailer. I appreciate the video. My first "nice" trailer that I want to keep a long time, so I'm wanting to do my best to do all the preventative maintenance. Are there any other wear parts, such as bushings or springs, that I should keep an eye on?

Bearings running grease should never be run preloaded. 001" - 005" end play is a must. I don't see much crown on your axle tube.

10:35 Of course it comes out where the bearings are.

That's actually better than a bearing buddy. That distributes new grease behind both bearing and then more or less symmetrically pushed old grease out to be removed and evenly repacked with fresh grease. I couldn't personally argue for or against that symmetry in the inner bearing but if you were to pump grease you would see it come out of the outer bearing symmetrically dirty grease first. In fact its super obvious that you haven't been maintaining these. bad tread wear and no visible grease behind the rubber seal. you should start with bearing preload by shaking the wheel when you lift it and spin it. You'll git 'er done.

Belt separation is pretty common in trailer tires.

You sound like Theo Vaughn

Just a warning, everything I've ever bought from harbor freight has failed, in particular I had 3 of their jacks fail on me. Just complete junk!! I learned my lesson. Buying the same tools over and over gets old.

I wouldn't feel safe on tyres 10 yr old tyres full of dry rot.

Spindle nut should never be that tight! Torque spindle nut to 50 lbs. to preload bearings and make sure races are seated, then loosen nut, then resnug the nut hand tight without spinning hub, then loosen enough to reinstall cotter pin. Better to be a little loose then too tight.
