Sure It's New - Show Me the Squeeze Out


Axle Hub with Grease Fitting
We are sure the manufacturer packed the axle bearings with grease, but before launching off on a very long maiden trip we felt better seeing for ourselves that the axles were fully greased.  The trailer axles come equipped with 'Ultrulube' grease fittings that supposedly allow grease to be injected without the need to lift and remove the wheel. But to actually see the grease squeeze out you really have to remove the wheel and dust cap.  It took nearly a full 14 oz grease tube to get squeeze out on all four hubs.  But now we know the axles are well lubricated for the trip ahead.
