The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-545-35-K comes pre-greased with a lithium based grease so as long as the grease you're adding has the same base there will be no issues. I recommend the LubriMatic Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease part # L54FR with Mini Grease Gun # 30-800.

Answer 10

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
