Before the trailer axle is replaced, checking the necessary components of the trailer can help us to match a more suitable trailer axle. This article will specifically The lubrication of the trailer axle is very necessary, because If there is a problem with the trailer axle that connects the wheels to the trailer body, the trailer may not be able to move.
The most important thing in repairing axles is to lubricate the trailer axle bearings regularly. When your wheels spin, the parts rub against each other, generating heat. Lubricating the trailer bearings helps prevent the wheels from overheating due to friction. If you ignore the following steps, the tire may fall off the trailer axle.
(1) The first step is to remove the bearing cap after removing the wheel from the trailer. You can use a flat-blade screwdriver, channel lock, or rubber hammer to accomplish this. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the split pin to contact the bearing nut. You may need a socket wrench or crescent wrench to remove it.
(2) Once you touch the trailer axle bearings, you should check them for signs of wear, such as pits or corrosion, chattering during rotation, or excessive rolling resistance. If there are these conditions, the trailer axle bearings need to be replaced immediately. Be sure to check the spindle and bearings after wiping. Because if the trailer spindle is not completely smooth, the bearing will wear out again soon.
(3) After applying table tennis-sized grease to the root of the palm, press the main shaft along the side of the clean bearing with your hand to lubricate the main shaft of the trailer. When doing so, rotate the trailer axle bearing so that all gaps are properly lubricated.
(4) Removing the bearings to lubricate them may damage the seals. The main function of the seal is to prevent grease leakage and prevent dust and debris from entering. Thus, before reassembling the bearing, you must install a new seal
Greasing the trailer axle bearings also helps to prevent the destruction of the brake hubs and spindles. However, there is a problem if the lubricating grease is too much. Applying too much lubricant can also damage the seals, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the lubricant and causing component damage.
Even a well-made trailer axle also requires the care and maintenance of the vehicle owner so that it can operate at maximum efficiency during its service life. If you want to know more about trailer axles after reading the above content, you can get a comprehensive solution by contacting us.
