[QUOTE="jeff925, post: 471703, member: 25201"] I have a 1985 ez loader trailer that came with the boat if got last year (14 foot gregor). The Trailer is in decent shape, i checked the bearings when i got it to make sure I did not hear any grinding and its been fine since. The bearing buddy cap was missing on both side when i got it so grease had splashed out around rim. I got new caps but thats all I have done. Now I have some time now and want to do a more thorough check. i am contemplating just replacing the hubs vs just replacing the bearings as hubs are not that expensive and come with the bearings installed. Is that simpler than just replacing the bearings? i have down a bearing replacement once, went ok but not really anxious to do another one. any other words of cautions? things to look for? thanks, jeff [/QUOTE]
