You're absolutely correct - that's something I overlooked in the "lubrication" section on page 9. I towed the trailer home without further incident.........if the bearing had failed, I probably would have noticed something not right on the 2 hr. trip.
When I store the trailer for the winter next month - I'll follow the instructions on page 9 to lubricate all parts mentioned............
My initial post was to inform those who might also over look the parts I mentioned. Except on page 5 for the "lubrication" there is no other mention of the rocker assembly - the inspection suggested is mentioned after the entire king pin, pivot bolt and roller had been lubricated - probably something most folks would do perhaps once a year, if that. Thank you for your reply!!
