Never Lube Failure

[jgomez888]

I have a 2009 Classic 30 with electric hydraulic disc brakes. One wheel ran hot to the touch and was wobbling. The sealed Never Lube bearing had failed and I had it replaced, but it damaged the disc brake pads and calibers. Had to pull brakes on that wheel to get home.

What Never Lube Bearing checking/maintenance should I do? Should I put new bearings in the other 3 wheels to avoid future failures or just carry a spare?

I have never lube and discs on my rig. About the only checking I know that MIGHT help is checking wobble / runout whenever rotating tires or brake insp and using infrared temp gun to monitor temps.

And I had a sticking pad heat up a brake and my Dill TPMS alerted me to that.

Thru a quirk if someone else’s axle R&R I was able to get spares and I carry a complete hub and caliper assy.

If you are good with tools I bet you can replace others. Special procedures.

I also carry a hydraulic line coupler and plug that allows plugging the line and maintaining 3 brakes if required.

PM if you’d like other details.
