Question:
I have Dexter E-Z lube on my trailer, do i need to remove the hubs and re pack the bearings or just follow grease using the E-Z Lube?

Expert Reply:
With an EZ-Lube axle you do not have to take off the hubs to re-pack the bearings. You can use grease like # L11390 along with a grease gun # L30200 to add new grease and push the old grease out.
However, it is best to pull the hubs and manually inspect your bearings at least once a year to make sure they are in good shape. When you pull them for inspection you will want to re-pack them by hand or use a bearing packer # L70025 prior to installing them again.
