Recommended High Temperature Wheel Bearing Grease for EZ Lube Spindles

Question

Question:

I have a 2008 trails west horse trailer that I just bought replacement brake assys for from ETrailer. While I have the wheels off, I was going to regrease the bearings. I have the EZLube spindles and need to know what kind of grease to use. The existing grease is a Bluish Green. Is that standard High Temp. Bearing grease or is it Marine bearing grease. Thanks for your help.

The green or blue greases are usually a synthetic grease with color added for identification or brand recognition. For your application, I recommend the LubriMatic Wheel Bearing Grease for Disc and Drum Brake Applications - 14-oz Cartridge # L11465 which works with a grease gun like # L30200. This will work perfectly on your EZ Lube spindles.

This is a really good question. I sent it to our engineer and he told me that the gauge has a 3%,2%,3% margin of error. This means that in the first third of its range, it is +/- 3% of the actual tongue weight, the middle of its range it is +/- 2%,…

The etrailer.com #e99044 did receive an upgrade and should have fluid in the gauge. With that being said, they will all have an air bubble like this and it is perfectly good to use.

It looks like all models of the 2005 Airstream Safari used 12" x 2" brake assemblies regardless of the axle capacity. If you want standard brakes you can use the Dexter #23-105-106. If you want the Nev-R-Adjust self-adjusting brakes then…
