Brakes on my trailer
|

I'm looking for some advise regarding my trailer I use to haul my tractor on. Its a 20+5 14K Moritz trailer. It has not seen many miles, does more sitting than anything eventhough its 12 years old. I did have brakes worked on a while ago. The brakes need some work. I know Moritz offers the complete backing plates for $70-$75 a piece, which is much cheaper that piecing it out. My question is how often should you repack the bearings with grease? The one dealership I talked to said I could be getting up too $2000 in this repair. An I should repack the bearings every year. Doesn't sound right to me.
Thanks for your help. |

If you are going to have the wheels off anyway it only makes sense to me to inspect and repack the bearings at least for peace of mind knowing that everything is good in there. |
