Is a 16 Oz. Can of Grease Enough to Repack Four Wheels on a Car Trailer
Question:
how much grease should I buy to repack 4 wheels on my car trailer which has 7,000 axles? Will a single 16oz can do it?

Expert Reply:
When repacking your bearings it takes very little grease, so a 14 oz. cartridge or 16 oz. can will be more than enough for your four wheels.
If you aren't sure which grease to buy, I recommend the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This is heavy-duty, premium grease for the toughest lubricating jobs on the biggest, heaviest equipment. It performs better under higher pressures and temperatures than standard multi-purpose grease, and it resists water better.
If you don't want to pack them by hand, recommend using a bearing packer like the LubriMatic Deluxe Bearing Packer # L70025. This will make the process quick and easy. It can be used with hand operated or power lube grease guns.
I have attached some helpful articles on different types of grease and how to replace the bearing, races and seals on a trailer hub. I also included a review video showing how the bearing packer works for your reference.
