A month ago I bought a new (2001 carryover) shorelander trailer. A week ago I noticed wheel grease coming out the front of the stainless steel bearing buddie on one side and that the hub on that side was warmer than the other side. I figured it was due to the lost grease. I replaced the bearing buddie this morning and refilled with grease. Took kids tubing and when we got home there was grease coming out the front of the new one too and the hub was warmer then the other side again. Do I have water in my hub? any other ideas?
When putting grease into a bearing buddie should you stop when the spring starts to move or when grease starts oozing out the front, or vent hole depending on brand.
Also, how warm is too warm for your trailer hubs?
Thanks in advance for any help.
