Default Re:Wheel bearings throwing grease

Bill and anyone who services their own TrailManors. Be sure to use an identical grease that is used by the factory. Just any bearing grease may do harm. Some types may cause your grease to liquify and thus leak out the seals.

Bill, did I hear you say you adjusted the brakes on your TM? I have been asking for advice for a long time about this. In which direction do you turn the adjusting star on each wheel? It is not the same direction for each wheel. I used to do it all the time on my cars as a kid. It should only take a few minutes but because I go the wrong way, I am never sure whether it is done poperly. Have you tried to find someone to adjust the brakes? First of all, the mechanic will spend an hour making the same mistake I do. They just do not know how to do it properly. If you find someone that is knowledgeable, it can cost $100-150.00. For such a small task, that is a pretty hefty fee.
