[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 24359, member: 148"] I forgot, I also greased the hitch mechanism with silicone grease. As for doing the bearings, I'm planning on inspecting them because they sat w/o moving for like 3 months. Just in case there was water, there could be rust. A friend told me that with the trailer just sitting on the bearing in the same position all winter it could squeeze the grrease out of one side of the bearing. :lol: I say HA! If the bearing lost grease on one side it would re-pack itself as soon as it started turning and if it was loose enough to do that in the first place I would say it was a bad bearing to begin with. I think it's just good engineering practice to inspect before use. [/QUOTE]
