Location: Athens, Ohio | Help me to help you. What kid of hubs do you have on your trailer, are they bearing buddy-type? Or, do they have a rubber cap over the grease nipple?
If they are bearing buddies, follow your directions, whcih tell you to add grease only until the inner cap starts to move and compress against the spring. Fill them all the way out, and when they get hot and the heat expands the grease, you will (and prolly now have) blow the grease seals on the hubs. You'll need to replace them now, since a blown seal can also let water in. I'd resist the urge to take them to the jerk who told you to fill them up in the first place, he may not be a good choice to correct the mess he helped you make.
On the batteries, look into the cell. The casing of the battery is, what, 3/4 of an inch thick at the top? I fill about up to that point, but never up into the black plastic. Yes, use only distilled water. Check after charging. good luck, and remember, the only dumb question is the one that didn't get asked. m | |
