    Trail bearing replace

    I have to replace my bearings. I did this last year. I checked them and notice my wheel had wobble and water in the hub. The only thing I didn't replace was the dust cup. I will replace them this time. That is the only place I can think of where water is coming in. All the seals look good and no grease lost. Does anyone else have water issue in their hubs?
    Also what does everyone torque the spindle nut?

    Thanks

    Do not torque the spindle nut !! It should be hand tight ( or a little more) to the point of no play in the wheel but no more. If you did the bearings last year and they already gone you may have over tighten them. Also try bearing buddies they keep a constant pressure on the grease. You are going to get water in but it should come right out.

      What type of grease is everyone using? I have read some trailer post on a site that states not to use marine grease on bearings due to more heat is generated. What are your thoughts?
      They say should use a synthetic grease.
