Question:

I have a DRV 39DBRS3 40’ fifth wheel. The axle spindle has a castle nut and cotter pin. There isn’t a grease fitting in the end of the spindle. I used a 3/16 drink every in grease fitting. The grease can’t go pass the cotter pin. How do you grease the wheel bearings.

In order to grease the bearings on your DRV 39DBRS3 fifth-wheel trailer, you will need to physically remove the hub and the bearings in order to grease the bearings. I went ahead and attached a walkthrough article that talks about how to remove the components.
