Plant Trailer Wheels Maintenance
Keeping plant trailer wheels and bearings in good condition is a necessary step in 
maintaining your trailer's performance. The main purpose of trailer wheel bearings is to 
reduce friction between the wheel and its assembly. These components are typically 
hidden from plain view, so it is important to check them regularly. 
If you are having trouble with your trailer's wheel bearings, you should contact a dealer. 
They will be able to help you determine what you need to do to fix the problem.
To replace your axle bearings, you should follow the manufacturer's instructions. This 
includes checking the torque specifications. You should also note the tolerances in the 
manual. You should not over-tighten the bearings. This can permanently deform the 
mounting stud holes.

After replacing your axle bearings, it is important to keep them clean. This will prevent 
damage from occurring and will ensure proper operation. It is also advisable to use marine-
grade grease to lubricate other moving parts. You can purchase this from most dealers.
If you notice that the wheel bearings have lost their grease seal, you should have the 
bearings replaced. The inner bearing cone and race should be replaced as well. If the 
bearings are rusty, you can clean them thoroughly with a degreaser.
You should also inspect the coupling for wear. This is the point on your trailer that connects 
it to the tow vehicle. If the coupling is bent, it will cause excessive trailer tyre wear. In 
addition, it can increase sway during towing. To avoid this, you should replace the coupling 
before towing your trailer.

It is also advisable to inspect the safety chains on your trailer. These are important to 
keep the trailer from dragging. If they have become worn, you should adjust them. It is 
a good idea to check them every year.
