We have experienced a red hot hub on our enclosed trailer at the border crossing. Needless to say we were cleared quickly. It was loaded with two motorcycles at the time. Bearing failure at the worst. Lesson learned ..... don’t let husband grease bearings using the zerk fitting. Blew out the back seal and lost all the grease from travelling down the hwy on a long trip.
We now don’t travel without a hub with packed bearings and tools on longer trips from home and he doesn’t touch the bearings.
Bearings need to be inspected and repacked yearly depending on the amount of travel you do.
