If your trailer’s axle(s) are not equipped with grease zerks, consult your axle manufacturer’s manual for specific service and maintenance information.
If a grease fitting is present, apply grease with a grease gun to lubricate the jack mechanism. The gears in the top of hand-cranked jacks should be greased once a year. To do so, remove the top of the jack and either pump or hand pack grease into the gears. This should be done once a year unless advised otherwise. here
Proper lubrication helps maintain functionality and reliability of your trailer’s axle(s). Bearings should be lubricated approximately every 12 months or 12,000 miles unless otherwise specified by the axle manufacturer. Carry-On Trailer uses Dexter axles for our trailers, and their recommendations for hand-packing bearing grease are as follows:
If your trailer’s axle(s) are equipped with a grease zerk on the ends, the bearings must be greased every six months or 6,000 miles to ensure functionality. To apply the grease, remove the rubber plug from the axle end and place the grease gun on the zerk. Pump grease until new grease begins to appear. (TIP: Use a different color of grease with each application so it will be easier to see when the new grease appears.) Then install the rubber plug and cap, and repeat for the remaining wheel bearings.
Lubricate the inside of the pintle with a thin layer of automotive bearing grease. Check and grease as needed before each tow and at six-month intervals. [links]

Making sure your trailer is well-maintained is an essential step in keeping your trailer in good condition and fit for towing.

This here is the grease seal. This is a seal extractor, and I'm going to put this towel in there. I was unable to locate these seals, so I need to try and get this out damaging as little as possible. I pull the seal out, just use a little hammer, and kind of flatten that back out. It should be okay. Once that seal is out, and this is the inner bearing assembly, it comes right out. This here is the bearing race, this is the surface that the bearing runs on, and you can see, there are uneven marks on it. If this has marks on it, they should be nice and even and straight. here

Your trailer’s wheel bearings are parts located inside the wheel hubs that help them spin fast with as little friction as possible. It’s essential to keep them in good shape to keep your trailer functioning safely. If you notice your bearings start making noises, then it might be time to replace them. In order to do so, you’ll need some basic mechanical tools, a new set of bearings, and a flat work surface. You’ll have to remove the hubs and old bearings, clean everything and apply new grease, then install the new bearings and reassemble everything. Soon enough, your trailer will be rolling along behind you smoothly again! [links]
