Our RV is in jeopardy. We are newbies when it comes to RV repairs and you won't believe where we went wrong. The scariest part is we are stuck and can't tow our RV until this fixed. Join us today as we attempt to make these repairs on our own and share the relatable stressors that we find living on the road.

I'm a truck mechanic, the way I set the small trailer wheel bearings is somewhat similar to the way I set them on a commercial truck. First step is to seat the bearing. Tighten with a socket and ratchet or torque wrench approximately 50ft lbs. Rotate the hub one full rotation and torque again. Do this twice. Second step is to back off the nut without moving the hub til the nut becomes loose. Approx. 1/8-1/4 turn counter clockwise. Third step is to tighten the nut back up finger tight. The nut must be backed off slightly and left with what is called endplay, this allows for thermal expansion as the wheel hub is heated going down the road. Check the bearing by spinning, the hub and feeling that it's smooth and not binding. Push in and hold then pull out and hold with your hands at 9-3 on the hub. You should not feel any movement or clunking. If you feel clunking the bearings are loose and need adjustment or replacement. The endplay will not typically be felt by hand.

You need a torque wrench to torque those castle nuts to 55lbs, in order to properly seat them. Then back them off and make them hand tight. Fellow Pennsylvanians who enjoy your videos.

@ricktanner4915 2 күн бұрын

This guy has it right. Set to the correct torque then back off to hand tight. It will allow the bearings to have the correct preload when they come up the operating temperature.

@stephenscering1776 23 сағат бұрын

55lbs? I was ase certified mechanic and have never been told to torque cone style bearings! Tighten to snug while spinning the drum until it starts to drag,THEN back off to the next cotter pin slot! That's is the way to do it correctly! Or you can be on the side of the road with smoked bearings! Why would you ruin the bearings before even using them! I look forward to the idiots comments! ASE Certified! Not crackerjack box awarded!

@raycalandra1887 12 сағат бұрын

@stephenscering1776 I was given those instructions from my RV Manufacturers service guide. Said that was the way you needed to preset the bearings without over torqueing them. That's what I did, and it worked just fine. My axles didn't have cotter pins. They use a retainer clip.

@graciel3725 2 күн бұрын

Anyone telling you that greasing through the zerks is "not good" is a clown, I just did all 4 of ours and the fresh grease was coming through the bearings just like when I hand pack them, literally no difference. FREE TIP: the opening of the channel lock should be facing the direction that you are turning them, this way the more pressure you put on the nut, the more the jaws clamp down tighter. Use them like you would a wrench, not across like you did they should be on the same plane as the nut is, flat. Overall you're doing great, just keep on working bro and don't give up ~much love ❤

@kevinherm3036 2 күн бұрын

Good free tip! I was covering my eyes, trying not to look as he was using those channel locks so wrongly. Personally, I have a socket that fits the castle nut. But great save Hanks!

@that.schamp 2 күн бұрын

Some of the zerk haters seem to think that people who use the zerks don't pack the bearings before assembly. Regular greasing via the zerk doesn't replace anything. All the zerk does is let you add grease in addition to the initial grease pack - which reduces the chance of a catastrophic failure before a scheduled rebuild.

@davidgates1122 2 күн бұрын

I am a zerk hater for a good reason. The grease in the tubes used in grease guns appears to be formulated differently so that it can be pumped through the grease gun. No matter what brand of grease I buy, once I open that tube and the grease is exposed to air, the oil separates from the thickener. If I towed regularly like the Hanks, this would not be a problem because the spinning of the bearings would mix the oil back into the grease before there was too much separation. I stick with the grease that comes in the plastic tubs. Even a decade after opening it, it is still the same as the day I opened it.

@jamesclark7248 Күн бұрын

As always, read and comply with the manufacturer's instructions. Dexter advises that using the EZ Lube feature is not a substitute for removing, cleaning, inspecting and repacking the bearing sets. Do that at least every 12,000 miles or 12 months. This also allows verification that the bearings have not "spun" in the hubs. My 5th wheel had 3 of 4 bearings spin, found at the first service. Dealer replaced all 4 sets under warranty with new Timkens.

Nice video. Made me laugh several times 😂😂 Couple of small notes from a gearhead, and for your safety: 1) adjust the channel licks correctly so you can use one hand, that’s how they are designed. 2) jacking a wheel up should normally be done under the spring plate or as close to hub. Unless the frame of the trailer has specific points built into it for jacking, you’re risking bending or breaking the frame. Also, looked like your bottle jack was a little small. They make 12,000 lb and 15,000 lb bottle jacks; the ones in the truck are usually not sufficient for big ol trailers like yours. Stay safe and happy! Love the show!!

@caseypries7559 Күн бұрын

Get yourself an 1 1/4” socket (confirm size before buying), torque to 50ft lbs while spinning the drum, back off and then finger tighten. Tekton has 1/2" drive deep chrome sockets that work very well for this and don't break the bank. At the very least use a crescent wrench instead of channel locks. And there are things you need to know before doing certain jobs. You can get someone killed by doing unsafe work.

@seabeevet9285 2 күн бұрын

Great Job Hanks!!! That way you were using the channel locks could be called a knuckle BUSTER!!! They do make a socket for a 3/4" ratchet to fit that nut. Granted it's not cheap and you won't use it that often, but when you do need it, it's GREAT to have!! Ya'll continue to have fun and be safe!!! Do NOT get complacent when it comes to safety!!!! 🙂

@bl78ljb Күн бұрын

A couple of points. When using a bottle jack you can cllscree out the top plate to help meet the frame so you don't have to pump the jack up so far to begin with. Also, get a large crescent wrench as well as a 1/2" socket set that goes to 1 1/2". They will come in handy and you will not regret having them.

I been RVing since the 60's packing my own wheel bearing every year without a bearing failure. I remove both bearing and using solvents to completely clean the grease out of the bearings and hubs. I then look for any signs of wear and will replace them if there is a question. I hand pack both bearings, adding extra grease to the bearing surface and install new grease seal. I use a wrench to seat the bearings. I turn to it starts to bind and then back off to it spins freely and I can insert the carter ping. I place a little extra grease on the nut and reinstall the cap. I never used the grease gun to force clean my bearings. I glad you tighten the lugs to the proper tightness.

When using your bottle jack, set the head just under your frame (still with some light showing through) by turning the head counter-clockwise so that you can extend it to that position by unscrewing it. Then you can jack the whole cylinder up. This allows you to preserve more range of jacking up the cylinder (therefore the frame) with the hydraulics.

Good luck down the road with that Solitude. Rosie and I have been together traveling this beautiful country for well over fifty years. Starting our travels in a 1966 fastback Mustang with everything we own as we traveled from fort to fort while I trained troops back in 1970. Check out the song I wrote "66 Mustang on Burlington Bill". Anyway, we finally ditched our Solitude after so many problems and a lack of backing from Grand Design when their top-level people defected and started Brinkley. We bought a Z-3100 Brinkley last year and just love it. Travel safe and keep up the good work! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on You Tube.

Try setting #4 on your Milwaukee. You'll see that it breaks the lug loose but then slows so that you can stop it before it spins the lug too far off until you are ready. Then use setting #1 or #2 when reinstalling. This ensures you do not over torque before you complete the process using the torque wrench.

@pjtemplin 2 күн бұрын

The impact wrench means you can most likely remove the lug nuts after jacking because of the impacts instead of constant torque. You likely want a high setting when removing the wheel to get the nuts loosened. However, you should check the manual for the torque specs of each position and when tightening the nuts, do so to a setting lower than the expected torque on the wheel nuts. Then use your torque wrench to finish the job to spec.

I love your positive attitude and energy, even when things go to💩. Buc-ees brisket sandwich is the best and it’s a shopping experience not a gas station. We are getting on I-95 at exit 42 in Georgia.

Only instance I have ever seen people eat Buc-ee's food while sitting down. You have accomplished the rare feat. Now if only Buc-ee's could find some space in their mega complex for some picnic tables.

If yall go on 69 up to northern indiana, about 70 miles up 69 from Indianapolis is a little town called upland, there is a restaurant called ivanhoes. 100 different milkshakes and 100 different sundaes. Trust me. I've been going for over 20 years

You all are the best. I am looking forward to what Grand Design does with your RV. My wife and I have a bet that you come away with a new RV??? lol. Wish I could be at the rally. Have fun.

Also before leaving with the trailer, check your tire pressures, looks like the tire that has bean off is low on air or maybe it was more compressed then the other one.

You probably should have re-greased the bearing. It looks like a lot of the grease came out of the bearing. I also completely agree that you should have torqued it with a TQ Wrench as another viewer mentioned.

We have just "TRIED TO GO TO BUCK-EES" just outside of Nashville. I say tried because when we got off the high-way there was a 1.5 mile line going into Buck-ees. 1 1/2 hour later we hadn't even gotten to the gas pump. NEVER AGAIN!

I was the one who said stop where you are and seat the bearings. Also said the grease zirk is not the way the lube the bearings. I saw you packed them buy hand and that is all you really neeed to do. Pumping the whole hub full not necessary. However If that is what you choose to do you must rotate the hub while pumping so it will go back through the inside bearing and not blow through the seal and foul the brakes. If you notice the brakes getting soft they are grease fouled and will need to be replaced again, sorry. If you have time just pull one all the way off see if grease came through, I would be surprised if it didn't I don't think you rotated it while pumping. By the way open the channel locks grab the nut from the side putting teath completely across the top and bottom of the nut, not straight form the front with just the tips.

The Dexter Proper way is to torque the nut to 50 lbs and back off to the First hole for the KEY. That will with out a doubt set the Bearings into the Races

How are you doing, you asked. - No need to pre-lossen the lug nuts when you use a real impact. - You can shake the tire left right and up down to check for excessive play in the bearings. - Personally I like to place the bottle jack under the axel not the frame, if accessible. - Speaking of bottle jack...unsrew the top too raise the height, so you arent jacking all day with those big guns.
