Today on this old trailer were going to show you how to repack the wheel bearings on a
disc brake set-up. Weve already gone ahead and removed our wheel and tire from the trailer.
We began by removing the dust cap off the end of the axle. Well need to remove our caliper
bracket. Well undo the two bolts here on the backside where we can then undo the bracket
and sit I t off to the side. Well also go ahead and remove the outside brake pad.
Now here in the center of the axle where we removed the dust cap well need to clean the
grease off so that we can see the cotter pin. Well then remove the cotter pin and the nut
stop where we can now undo the nut with a pair of channel locks. This nut should not be very
tight. After removing the nut we can go ahead and pull the hub of our axle off. Now youll
notice with the hub off that our spindle
is exposed.
