We purchased a new triple axle boat trailer this year, with disc brakes, and oil bath trailer bearing hubs.
We experienced a inside axle seal failure followed by a bearing failure.
It was a mess, and of course happened in a not so great location.
I appears we have another one that is leaking as well.
Unlike a greaseable hub, when the oil leaks out and runs dry it is only a matter of time before a failure.
Normally these are considered an upgrade to greaseable hubs.
Our last trailer had conventional grease type hubs. We ran it 10 years without any tire, wheel, bearing, or axle problems.
Thanks is advance for your help.
