In today’s episode I’m going to talk about how often to check your wheel bearings, how to check, what to look out for, how to service and adjust and of course how to replace your trailers bearings.

Although these serviceable items can be dealt with by a service agent, knowing what parts and tools to carry and how to change these bearing could not only save you money in the Australian outback, but time and the ability to avoid a mechanical breakdown in remote areas.

It may be a somewhat of an intimidating task if you haven’t done it before, however it is very possible by anyone with or without specialised training.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode and it has provided you with some useful information to keep your wheels turning and your hubs from burning.
