For my trailers weight and use, (I towed 14k last year), I will stay with the recomended intervals.
And yes, the double lip seal will keep your drums clean inside as I have used both!! |
CAUTION
Any discoloration of a bearing means it was severly over heated.
Discolored bearings should be replaced, always.
