    EZ Lube Axles - Second Service

    I spin the wheels while SLOWLY pumping in the grease, so i don't send grease out the back seal. Yes the first time it takes a lot of grease. The approved greases on dexters list seem to be lithium complex, so i've stayed with that. Currently using valvoline synpower.

    Why heated water hoses?

    No lashings here, you use what you feel comfortable with and makes your trip easy and enjoyable. If i spent more time in colder environments like you do, who knows, i might use it.

    Leaky sandstone at Glen Canyon Dam

    5-10 gallons a second in sandstone for decades! I'd worry that it would be eroding constantly and the leak getting bigger.

    Do you balance your trailer tires?

    I have them balanced, just makes sense it would be easier on the bearings and axle.

    was up in NC and it snowed a bit at the higher elevations.

    Glad you did fine, lots of shady spots on those roads. You can seem fine, then hit what seems like wet glass.
