OK, today was trailer maintenance day.

We put new Amsoil Synthetic Water Resistant Grease in each hub. To us, that means pumping new grease in till it gets a real firm body on what is comming out.

We also removed each tire and greased the studs with the same grease. Then because our trailer is all aluminum, we used a torque wrench till we got to 90 lbs. Other trailers might require a different setting.

This is a once a year chore for us. After a couple trips to the launch site, we will check the torque wrench again.

Hope everyone thinks to take care of their trailers.
