I get a kick out of all the nay sayers and know it alls that say that you shouldn’t use these or you used to much grease. These people just can’t seem to comprehend the purpose of this system. 1. Do not use a pneumatic grease gun, that is the number one reason people and “ RV Techs” blow out the rear seal. 2. The purpose of this system is to repack your bearings. It takes about 7 ozs ( half a tube) of grease before all the old grease is pushed out and replaced with new grease. If you do a little reading of the dexter manual you would know these facts. If been using this system annually for five years to repack my bearings with no issues. Next year it will be due for a total disassembly and inspection of the brakes, drums, bearings and races.

Good honest video, no BS, no horrible music. Nice job.

Thanks for the video. Been RVing for 20 years now. This method is effective. I pulled off two my hubs this year on my 2017 to verify brake pad wear. While I was there check the bearings. Well greased.

I have a trailer with Dexter and EZ lube and have never lubricated the bearings. I found you short video very helpful. Thanks.

Great job good for those that are not sure how to do this. On previous rv’s I have had to repack the bearings but this much easier. This way uses more grease but less messy

Thanks for the important maintenance tips, many times overlooked that can cause major safety problems and delays while traveling.

First time visit to your channel. Good stuff. Any maintenance related video's are always a good thing. Be safe out there.....

Loved the full version video, very helpful dealing with everything that could happen.

There are a lot of people having grease go through the seal, so might I suggest doing this on a warm day, going really slow with the greasing to allow it to flow without building any pressure between the bearing and the seal (it's not a race) and checking the seal with a bore scope after if you can!

This was great I didn’t know at all how to do it, I thought a few shots of grease and that’s it but you showed me how it’s done thank you so much.

Best detailed explanation for greasing trailer bearings on KZfaq ever! Thanks for the details that beginners really need to know. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

Best hub grease video yet! Love me some greasy hubs!

Wow, this was a great video and very helpful. Thanks for the links. I'm gonna buy the stuff and get ready to go it myself.

Awesome video, very thorough and explained well!

Hope u guys are safe and well. Can’t wait for this to be over ♥️

Very helpful. Quick, personable. Thank you. Do more like this.

Short and sweet! Good job

Love these how to vids.

Thanks I just checked my wheels n one side needed grease but I took the liberty n greased all four. Thanks again for ur tips LP

glad you did this video im about to do mine and didn't know how to change it

Just a suggestion, you really need to be using high temperature bearing grease. The moly grease you used says "fifth wheel" because it is recommended to be used on 5th wheel hitches. This is not the right grease for bearings.

Thanks for the video. Especially the real life problem encountered like an Air lock. Well done.

Great job showing how this greasing is done

As an RV technician I see too many people use these ez lube systems and end up blowing their rear seals out ruining their brakes all together. Pull everything apart once a year and do a full inspection. Will save you in the long run

Very helpful.. answered my question!

Like the maintenance tips. Is there parts or an after market set up to grease ur bearings like just did?

Good info here. Presented easy to understand.

Enjoyed the video

Nice video. Helped a lot.

Thanks for the greased job.. Ya did good ...Enjoy your camping ..

Good video! Well explained!

Thank you! This was great!!!

Excellent instructional video!

I did this job today just as I do every year but I took my wheels off so I could inspect my brakes and I found a cracked hub that could have exploded going down the road. This is exactly why I commented on this video the other day and told you that you should always take your wheels off. My hub could have exploded going down the road.

I have these Dexter EZ zerk fittings on my travel trailer axles. I've never lubed them yet. I know I need to. But, reading the comments and looking at other videos... some say don't do it this way because you can blow the seal out....some say it's going to be alright. Now I don't know what to do. Then there is those who say to jack it up on the axle, then there are those that say don't jack it up on the axle, jack it up on the frame. Then there are those that say don't jack it up on the frame. It's almost hit or miss with these videos. You did a great job explaining, but I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks. You made this not as big a chore as I thought.

Very nice video. I was always leary of pumping to much grease as I thought it might push out the inside seal. Not the case?. good to know.

Moly grease as a rule is deigned for sliding surfaces, pins, bushings, and suspension components not wheel bearings. The tube you showed specifically mentions it to be used as an EP grease for chassis and fifth wheel use. You'll get better service life and protection on rolling element bearings by using a non-moly grease.

Great info... thanks!!!

Great video. Thank you.

Thanks, very helpful, preceeding comments also very helpful

These types of quick videos are awesome. Thanks for leaving in the problem with the air bubble. You are right, things don’t always go perfect. EXCELLENT video sir!

Great video!

The #1 thing you should take care of while it is up in the air is testing and adjusting the brakes. I'm not a safety nut, I'm just lazy and only want to jack it up once.

Great video. I carry a Milwaukee M12 battery powered 12 volt grease gun in my 5th wheel. It makes it easy to do this by my self.

Awesome video and great tips, also are you guys gonna go to silverwood this year?

Great Job. Less Talk and Get to the Point. You did exactly of that.

Nice video. Thanks!

Very helpful thank you.

Good video, Thanks.

Thank you. I need to go back and grease mine now that I know what to actually do.

Great video.

Thanks for showing how to load a grease gun. I only do that about once every 3 or 4 years, which at my age, is just enough time to forget how its done.

Good job Dad 👍

Very nice, got it

Excellent!

Excellent 😊😊

Great video

Great vid

Good job, thanks

Thanks for the video. First, you went from start to finish. Other videos start with the grease fitting exposed and wheel off the ground. Manufacturer video used a prop axle and bearing set up, wasn't even on a rig. Also appreciate the air bubble problem being left in. Shows that unexpected things can happen.

Oh when installing a grease cartrige only thread thread the pump handle one and a half turns then release the plunge and then screw it in the rest of the way, primes every time!

Like your show l got to do mine now thanks

THANK YOU.

What happens if you don’t rotate the tire while re greasing?

The Dexter manual has a list of approved grease for their axles. I just bought one off the list to be safe.

DO NOT stick your finger into that hole to clean out the excess grease. RAZOR SHARP! I found out the hard bloody way

Just did mine this morning. Bone dry :(. Hoping I got it before the bearing started to go.

Ram 3500, Great Truck. What do you set your electric brake gain at.

Pneumatic or battery grease gun be great for that!! Save the pain! Thx for sharing I am due for this as well!!

Good video

Pretty good job on the video but, as you probably already know if you haven’t greased in 2-3 years means you probably haven’t inspected your brakes. Take the hubs off next time and replace the seals and repack the right way. I believe the fitting is there to top off the procedure in my opinion . It’s always nice to have working brakes.

Great video, and thank you! I did spot one snafu. The Dexter Operation Service Manual says CAUTION (all caps and highlighted in yellow) "Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension system." In other words, don't put jack it up by the axle.

Good video, would installing bearing buddies defeat the purpose of the EZ lube?

I’m kind of new to RV but what is that cover the name of it that you took off to access the bearings that way I don’t have to take the tires off because on ours I don’t have a little plastic piece and I’d rather just swap out both of those on our rim one time that way I can access it and lube up the bearings

Hi James and Ashley and goose and maverick how are you today. Happy Friday.

I have done the exact same thing before and blew out the back seal and ruined my brakes. I now take the wheels off and hand pack and replace seals every 2 years not that hard. Plus u need to inspect them.

Great job. My Pro Safety Tip is using a brake spoon and adjusting your brakes! That wheel spun way too freely IMHO.

Don’t use moly, use high temp red grease. And there is a bleed valve on the head of the grease gun for what it gets airlocked

Leave grease in the sun and let it get HOT, pump very very slowly as you rotate the wheel or you can push out the seal.

Great video. Off topic, what’s the intro song?

At 5:06 "new" Red grease is coming out. At 6:12 "new" Black grease is coming out. Did you two types grease?

Shouldn’t the young guy be. Pumping and the. Old guy spin the wheel..

Be careful and not blow the rear seals out. Then your brakes will get grease covered. Pro tip!!

Our fam just bought a used 2020 bumper pull toy hauler from an older gentleman who didn't like the upkeep and maintenance. Brought it home and checked it over only to find the bearings looked to be dry from the start. Perhaps never greased at the factory or not checked at the dealer??? Luckily the rig didn't have many miles on it so I'm glad I pumped them full before we took it far. Just goes to show checking for yourself can make a difference. Oh and if you can afford a nice 5th wheel, I'd recommend buying a cordless dewalt or milwaukee grease gun! You'll thank me later 😉 (or your grease pumping assistant will thank me later 👍🏼)

Definitely like this type of “tip” video. Very “real” and understandable. Thanks.

Pro tip as you grease your bearings you should also inspect your wheel hubs and brakes.

Here is the way I am going to do a hybrid method for my EZ lube axle. I have only repacked mine the standard way so far. Have not attempted the EZ Lube way yet. I'm going to do a hybrid version that partly uses both methods....use manual grease gun to pump some grease in while spinning the wheel slowly. Maybe 6 pumps. That should adequately renew the grease in the inner bearing, because the spinning wheel will distribute the grease all around in the inner bearing. Now support the outer nose of the hub with my small rolling jack (not necessary, but that will keep the hub from tipping down on the spindle when the outer bearing is removed), remove the metal dust cap, remove the outer wheel bearing, hand-pack it, re-install the bearing and nut retaining devices, and the cap. This way both bearings get greased, and the whole inner hub cavity does not get filled, and I avoid the more work intensive process of removing the inner bearing. Of course, occasionally pull it all down the standard way for compelete re-pack and inspection. Comments?

One thing, with the hub full of grease with no air space I wonder if that's what causes the grease to go past the seal when it gets hot on a long pull, so I wonder if you should pull the outer bearing and remove some of the grease from the hum, it's easy to do???

Noni wants lifestyle videos with Goose and Maverick. Gramppa Beard wants both.

I used the grease fittings to grease my bearings....there was soo much grease in there it blew off the caps!!!

The second wheel didn't seem to have any old grease in it. Lesson in greasing your bearings as often as they suggest.

What about the seal on the back? Aren’t you afraid of it popping off of the back and getting on the brakes? But great video

Please tell me ....you did not do yr rv wheels up tight with that air gun......

Most people over grease with these devices. Especially with power grease guns. Go look at your ball joints on unsealed type. Guarantee the shop tech somewhere blasted grease in until the rubber seal snapped. That's why there's a big glob of grease around your joints. IMHO, take the time to disassemble, inspect the bearings. And purchase a bearing packer. WHOOOOOLE lot easier. And they're cheap.

I have ez-lube hubs but no access through the center cap LOL. Corner cutting bastards!

Keep doing this type of video. Very well done.

Gotta love all the clueless comments on here.....just look at the offical video from dexter for their E-Z lube axles. You indeed do pump through grease just like he does and even shows the video from dexter. Times change folks, new tech comes along.

I also thought this should be I use High Temperature Wheel bearing grease specifically for wheel bearings on my travel trailer. Not Molly grease it’s more for sliding applications that’s what we used on bearing surfaces on manufacturing presses .

Great video....but a heads up.....moly greases are designed for boundary lubrication, like pins and bushings on a loader/tractor, fifth wheels etc.....sliding metal to metal contact NOT roller bearings......use a grease designed for roller bearings!
