Topic: Lippert Axle Grease? Posted: 23 Apr 2014 at 8:33pm |
Dexter Axle has had sealed trailer bearings available for years...they call it Nev-R-Lube
It is a system so it can't be just swapped in. http://l.b5z.net/i/u/6149609/f/product_flyers/Nev-R-Lube.pdf Dexter axle is my preferred brand. The component sheet that came with my 179 shows Lippert Axles, which is apparently wrong as there is a big ole Dexter sticker on it.... BTW I check bearing and tire temps at stops with an IR temp gun...can spot a problem coming pretty early with one. The one I bought years ago was well over a hundred dollars, they can be had for $25 now! |

Our 2014 178 says that it has a Lippert axle too. But, like yours, it has a big old Dexter Axle sticker on it.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned, is when you are greasing the Supr Lube hubs with a grease gun, you are supposed to spin the tire at the same time. So jack each wheel up before greasing & spin the tire. This helps the grease move through the back bearing without pushing past the seal.
