I have a magic tilt trailer with grease fitting for the hubs. It also has rubber hub covers and the fittings seem to be on a diaphagm that expand when I add grease. My questions are, how often should I:
A: add grease through the grease fittings
B: have the bearings repacked
I always rinse after launching and I added grease at the end of last season and I haven't had them repacked since I bought it in Feb 2009. I am only driving about a mile each way to the ramp, and have taken it on two long trips, one 2 hours and one 4.5 hours away, both in Summer of 2009. I don't have any problems but don't want any either since I may take a longer trip here soon. (Hoping to sneak out to NC gathering but can't commit yet because of new job.)
