I guess I’ve read too much about packing bearings and changing bearings and seals.
I recently removed my bearing covers and conducted a repack. I removed the bearing cover – using my hand to pack as much grease as would fit in the bearings on the trailer, and in the bearing cover. When I reinserted the bearing cover by using a hammer to tap it in, grease would leak out the sides of the inside base where a grease gun would normally connect.
My question is – how do you know if you’ve packed in too much grease? I don’t want to blow a seal.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle
