I’ve been wondering why the brakes weren’t very strong on the flatbed trailer. Finally decided to look into it and found the problem.

The inner seals had failed on three of the four tires.

Does your axle spindal have the bearing buddy with a grease zerk at the end? If so be careful when pumping grease through it. I’ve seen too many seals get hydraulically pushed out of the wheel hub just a little bit, with being over greased. Two pumps max if you can’t spin the wheel while you are greasing it, 3 if you can spin the hub

It does have zerks but I haven’t ever greased them. That’s probably a bad thing since I’ve had it since 2013. We packed these bearings by hand and reinstalled just for that same reason.

Now on my 6.5’x10’ I added a brake kit and over greased it one time. It was pulling to one side when braking because only one side had grease in the drum. And it seems once they start leaking, it won’t stop. So I had to replace the seal on that one too but that’s been years ago.
