[VAC] Wheel bearings

["Richard P. Kenan" <rkenan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, everyone:

	I need to repack the wheel bearings on my trailer (single axle). I've 
probably not put more than 5K miles on it, and the bearings don't feel hot 
to the touch under use, but  I have no idea when the previous owner last 
did it.  So, I thought I'd do it just to be safe.
	I've repacked the bearings on automobiles before, and know it's a simple 
job.  Is the same true for trailers?  Are there any special traps or 
difficulties (other than the horribly tight fit of tires in the wheel 
wells)?  Any advice would be appreciated.
