Updated 12/01/2025 | Published 10/31/2025
Question:
Just received my axle assembly and have some questions about the hub bearings They are pre greased but will I need to inject any more grease into the Zerk before using the axle? If so, how much and what are the specs for the grease? Thanks in advance for your help Johnny

Hey Johnny, you do no need to put more grease into the hubs of the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e95SR that you have. In fact that actually would be a detrimental thing to do as it would make the seals more likely to blow out and leak grease everywhere.
