I know a couple folks that do this, but in my opinion it is just not needed. I have always had two or three trailers and have only occasionally checked the bearings for but tightness and appearance,...

I have never seen caps for the adjustment slot. I even just checked my cargo and dump trailers, none on them either.

If it was me, and with that low of mileage annually, I would go at least 3 years before servicing. Others would do it differently though. If the time and money are of no concern, there is definitely...

It could be something to do with how file is being saved? I regularly save files as PDFs, scan documents as PDFs, and email. Something is weird, hope you get it figured out.

Clean up is actually pretty easy. All you have dirtied, other than you hands, is a basin you rinse them in. I actually use a small pot to clean the bearings in. I put the waste in a jug that gets all...

Sounds like what I do Doug, except no shot of grease for my older hubs. It is 6 years of owning my trailer now, and I do plan to do the bearings for the second time. After 3 years, when I did mine...

I have mostly done short trips with the odd 2 week thrown in, and after 4 years repacked my bearings. All was fine.
