Dexter ez lube trailer axles...

[wildbears]

I lubed mine yesterday on our Aluma motorcycle trailer.

Not sure it's that easy.

Took about 100 pumps with the grease gun on each side (single axle trailer).

And cleaning the old grease off as it's extruded takes more time than pumping the grease in and also half a roll of paper towels.

The wheels need to rotate as the grease is being pumped in. Easy with my trailer as it is a fold up and the wheels are off he ground when stood on end. Otherwise you have to to jack up one side the trailer.

Required every 12k miles or 12 months.

It takes half of a 14 oz tube for each side.

I was told you don't need to pump until you see new grease coming out, just
until some grease comes out.
When I bought my Kubota excavator I bought a Milwaukee 18v grease gun.
Best tool I've bought in awhile!

I was told that also when I bought the trailer.

And have done it annually and well before the 12k mile interval was up.

OTOH, the Dexter site shows adding more grease until the new grease is extruded.

May not make a big difference for light loads on a motorcycle trailer.

The grease gun will definitely be used the next time unless I just want to do an hour or so of hand grip strengthening.

I'll also just use an old paint stick and a jar to collect the old grease rather than wiping it off with a gloved finger and then onto a paper towel.

I'll still need a lot of paper towels.

I've only used my Aluma trailer in town and have never greased the bearings
I checked the manual and it shows "Stop when new grease is observed"
If I ever haul the bikes I better grease the bearing and buy new tires.

Yep.

Trailer tires need to be replaced every 6-8 years. Even if they are not in use and still look good.

At least that's what they told me at Discount Tire.

Just replaced mine after 8 years.
