Simple is best. Especially when it comes to wheel bearing maintenance. That’s why
Tie Down introduced Super Lube, the hub bearing lubrication system that provides
continuous protection with a fast and easy maintenance program.

Attach a conventional grease gun to the grease fitting. As new grease is pumped into
the system, the old grease is forced out of the bearings and into the dust cap
reservoir. Remove all excess grease from the dust cap reservoir, replace the
rubber expansion access cap and repacking is completed, with out the expense
of a service center.

Your trailer is equipped with Tie Down Engineerings wheel hubs/spindles. The hubs
are pre-greased with Lucas “Red n‘ Tacky” grease and assembled at the factory. The
hubs should not require any initial adjustments. The hub uses tapered roller bearing
cones and cups. This configuration requires a minimal amount of end play that is
provided at the time of assembly. Use Lucas “Red n’ Tacky” grease or a quality
lithium based marine grease.
