I bought it used and I'm getting it ready for our first trip out. This has the Goodyear Marathon tires. I was able to find a replacement tire and it was fixed today.
Here's the questions:
How often do you repack the bearings (if ever)?
Have you had trouble with the Goodyear Marathon?
Is there a better tire to use? (215 75 R14) |
Wheel bearings should be removed, cleaned, inspected and repacked every year, or 10,000 miles, which ever is first.
The grease seals should be replaced at the same time, with seals that have a double lip and a spring.
