Featherlite trailer question
 

I am wondering what I need to do to my 5 y/o feather lite trailer (12' v nose) wheel bearings.
The trailer lives in my garage. Has 6-8k miles on it. Lightly loaded in general. Summer road miles only.
I am wondering how/what to do to the bearings and if I can do it myself?
I don't see any fittings.

Thanks
Dave

I don't have a Featherlite. Look at the center of each wheel. If there is a rubber cap, remove it and you will see a standard grease fitting for the wheel bearing.

Where I normally look for the rubber cap, there is a steel cover, no obvious way to remove it.

Look close at that steel cap. It's most likely a dust cover that can be removed. Try to get s screwdriver between the cap and hub, or maybe a vice grip and move it back and forth until it comes off. They're usually just pressed in. Hope this helps.

If its just got a steel cap you can go to tractor supply and get new caps with fitting in then. If you dont have tractor supply go to local boat place they have them just cost more

I have a 24 foot FL. It is not hard to clean and pack the bearings it you know how to. I know how but a local tire shop can do it so reasonable  It is not worth the  mess. Dan Avilla
