Great idea. I just ordered new axles and not thinking didn't have the zero fittings. Adding the zek fitting to the hub is perfect. When I looked back the cost for an axle with the zerk fitting is like 80 dollars more. I have 2 axles so I saved 160 bucks and adding these to my hubs would be very cheap. Thx again.
I did this to my truck wheel bearing hubs and it works pretty good have not replaced any bearing in 4 yearsnow probly as b4 was replacing the bwarung hub assembly about every year lol
Thanks for the good video. I'm in the process of replacing some trailer hubs, and if I can't buy a hub that has a grease fittings already, it seems well worth it in the long run to add the fittings you showed. Seems like an hour of drilling and tapping up front will make maintenance way easier and add years to the trailers life. A few hubs have this from the factory and it looks like the best way to keep the bearings protected. Much appreciated.
Nice video, well done.Quick question, how do you prevent overfilling the bearing cavity with grease, Obviously the high temperature of a hot day high-speed journey will heat up the grease and bearing, all that expansion has to go somewhere, usually blowing a seal. Does the rubber seal on the outside bulge to compensate and return to the correct position when cool. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Using these concepts on a dirt bike swing arm and linkage. Thanks!
Nice Video. Perfect explanation. Thanks.
That's what the bearing buddy is for
You don't understand how axle bearings work evidently.
Again. That's what buddy bearing caps are for.
@@TheBpotter69 No it's not. Buddy Bearing doesn't allow you to push old grease out.
Good demonstration and a good alternative to Tie Down Engineerings Super Lube hubs that are the same. Thanks
You had too much energy drink that day, man. :D
Maybe.
Thanks. 👍

No they're just quick access dust covers for zerk fittings that are on the end of the spindle.
The plastic cover will keep it from pressurizing.
I tried this on the hf 1100 lb trailer seems like the hub isnt deep enough or i pushed the seal in too deep
That red grease is a 💩, it allows wear out both bearings and racers.
I used the green Lucas heavy duty grease, hope it's better than the red
@@joel9405 The best greases are Frixo and Omega 57.
