Question:
Im going to buy a second pair of hubs CE13100 for this season love them! and want to repack last years also new for stock. The grease on those was red. Do you sell the type of grease Smith had used, or suggest something compatible. I guess Ill be cleaning the bearings good so maybe the grease type is not a problem.

Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at CE Smith regarding the Trailer Hub Assembly # CE13100 that you reference. She stated that they use an NLGI # 2 red grease like the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This will be compatible with the grease currently in the hub, but I do still recommend removing as much grease from the hubs as you can when repacking, as it's possible that the old grease may be contaminated from moisture.
I have attached a great article on repacking trailer bearings that you might also find helpful. Bearing packers, such as the excellent LubriMatic # L70025, will make the process quicker and easier.
