I'm in the process of replacing the brake backing plates on my new to me 5th wheel trailer. I'm on the second wheel out of 4 and both had the inside of the brake drum covered with grease. It has a grease zerk on the end of the axle and it comes out a hole between the inner bearing and the grease seal. It looks to me like someone over greased it and pushed grease out past the seal instead of thru the bearing. I have new grease seals and the bearings so far clean up nice, so I'll reuse them. The old grease is very thin, looks like regular gun grease to me. I got a tube of wheel bearing grease from Napa and filled the bearings with grease ready to put the wheel hub back on. How much grease do you put in the center of the hubs? These were packed full, but the Napa grease is thick enough that I highly doubt that the hub ever get hot enough for the grease to run into the bearings. I put about 10 pumps in the center from the outside before installing the outer bearing. Is that enough grease or do I need another tube and fill the center cavity?? Thanks, Chris PS I have seen wheel bearings on new equipment with grease only on the bearings and the cavity is dry.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
