Greasing Trailair Wet Bolts??????
I know I am suppose to grease the "Wet Bolts" on my Trailair suspension systems but it does not tell me how much. 2,3,4,5,6 squirts from a hand grease gun? Pump until it comes out?

Pump until it comes out ...... not very much and you can't over grease. Wipe off excess and your good to go.

Yep, wet bolts grease until you see it coming out, wheel bearings are a different animal too much there and you'll have problems.

Thx, I thought it was but just wanted to be sure. I know you can create a "hydraulic" effect with those grease guns if you are not careful........

chivas, Howdy;
Be sure to wipe off the zerk fittings before pushing the dirt into the
grease journals. and wipe off afterwords...

Do these "Wet Bolts" ever need to be replaced or checked on a regular interval other than greasing every 3K?

If you are greasing them regularly the wear on the bushings should be minimal if any. When you grease inspect that the holes in the spring hanger have not become enlarged ... if not you should be good to go.
