Jack up axle with slides open?

[FT4NOW]

I agree with you both it would be easier to do it with the slides in, but as full-timers our slides are rarely in.




Since this is the first time I will perform this maintenance, I also want to inspect the bearings and replace the seals. I may use the EZ Lube system afterward.

Search the forum for greasing bearings. There are loads of discussions on the proper way to grease bearings; inspection of the bearings probably equally as important, you can decide yourself which method is best.

You are right there are loads of discussions on the topic, and I have many (most?) of them. What I meant is for my first time doing it, I want to inspect everything and repack the wheel bearings by hand. In the future I may (or not) use the EZ Lube in between repacking by hand.

I understand, and agree. I think when you see how easy the manual repack/inspection is, you may consider doing that each time. It also gives you a good idea of the brake pad condition.

You have easy lube axels. No repaking needed. Look up video of repaking easy lube axels and proceed. The service dept at your dealer will tell you different. Merritt
