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

Great "tips" video showing us newbies how to grease up our RV axels. Thanks

[damonschlott]

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

[NormRidg]

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.

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 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

[azcharlie]

As a travel trailer owner who has just recently experienced a bearing failure, I recommend doing them EVERY YEAR, no matter how many miles you go. I did mine last year before I did around 3000 miles. So, I decided not to do them this year, because the salesman told me to do them every 10K miles. Well, it cost me big time. DO THEM EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL!!!!

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.

[guspaca]

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

[christoole]

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!

[CAW]

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.

[nathanurick]

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.

[airmike]

Those are great for bearing maintenance. Been using those for years.

[grob]

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

[jodieburgess]

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