Subject: Trailer bearings




I just had new tires put on my boat trailer. The ones on the trailer looked like new but were over 15 years old. I don't use it a lot, mostly put the boat in the spring, take out in fall, haul to dealer for annual. Rest of the time it is in storage garage. But knew it was risky even doing that much travel.

My question is when I had it in, I asked the dealer to check and re-pack the bearings. Same dealer did this on my utility trailer and I know they do it quite often. However, when I went back to get the trailer they said they didn't do the bearings. The trailer is an Eagle and has electric disc brakes. They said they only way they could see to do it was to take out the axle, something about the brake rotor being in the way.

Is it really that tough? When I take the boat in for it's annual winterization and check, I will talk to the dealer, but thought I would get some input.
