    Trailer Bearing Question

    I took off the hub on my trailer over the weekend and found that the grease inside the end cap was white-ish and around the seal on the rear bearing was the same. Does this mean that water got in? The grease everywhere else is dark like I would expect...I am thinking about replacing the bearings rather than just repacking them since I do not know there age.

    Yes that sounds like water on the inside with a non water proof grease. Time for seals also.
