I have linked a video to the right that shows how to pack trailer bearings. Be sure to remove all of the old grease prior to reinstalling the bearings.

There are also products you can use so as to avoid packing the bearings by hand such as the bearing packer # L70025. Then you could use a grease gun such as # L30416 and grease # L11390.
