Russell logs hundreds of miles each year with a boat in his rear view mirror. He points out a few winter tips that won’t leave you on the side of the road.

  • Great job guys. This is the help video I was looking for !

  • Outstanding thanks for the video

  • Great video! That red grease is only for fresh water eh? I heard to always use the blue grease for marine.

  • Excellent video a real Cracker . Very clear what and how things are to be done with good explanations and well lit throughout so shows up well on the laptop.

  • "redish color indicates rust" not always the case, Wheel bearing grease comes in a number of colors red being one of them (normaly synthetic).

  • Only point he got wrong is saying to get all the air out, you don't want that much grease otherwise it can overheat, the grease liquidfies and runs out past the seal, then your left with no grease, overfilling a bearing is just as bad as no grease. and i've been doing bearing maintenance for 35 years.

  • where do you buy that race tool? That would be nice!

  • Good consept on how to repack bearings should have mentioned about how to reinstall the race`s KEEP THE SLOPE OF THE RACE THAT THE BEARING SITS IN ALWAYS OUTWARDS BOTH SIDES ; TAP IN WITH DRIFT PUNCH ( CIRCULAR HITS ) UNTIL A SOLID FEEL OR RING IS DISCOVERED THE INSIDE BEARING SEAL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL HOLD THE BEARING IN THE HUB WHEN INSTALLING.

  • HELLO I LOVE THIS VIDEO I AM ALSO REBUILDING MY TRAILER CHECK IT OUT . THE TRAILER IS A 1987 WINNER THE REBUILD IS GOING WILL.

  • Trick for installing new races. Cut 1/16 slot in old race with a dremel disc cutter. Use the race with the slot to tap in the new race. The slot will allow you to remove the tapper easily and you get a good seat to the bottom of the race housing. USE GOGGLES OR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THE DREMEL.
