Just wanted to reach out and see if someone can shed some light and/or share their experiences with working on the hubs/bearings for a 2011 or similar KZ travel trailer. We just purchased this trailer and we are very happy with it. I?m the type of person that likes to be prepared and regularly maintain his equipment. I don?t believe the dealer ever checked the hubs/bearings. I want to inspect the hubs, bearings, brakes, etc. I have experience with working on trailers that we have at work. Looking at these hubs I can?t tell for sure if I can remove just the drum and then start to disassemble the hub or if it is one whole piece. Just wanted to hear some other people?s experiences/ opinions before I start. Thanks!

Oh and welcome to the forum.

Most trailer axles are about the same, here is Dexter's information: http://www.dexteraxle.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/light-duty-hubs-drums-and-bearings.pdf?sfvrsn=2
Personally, I don't use the grease fitting nonsense that you will see in the information, starting on page 57, I only flush old grease out while it is apart.
If you find any fault with the bearings, replace with Timken brand, not some cheap Chinese parts.
Brake service here: https://www.dexteraxle.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/light-duty-electric-brakesa611829d2ba463c18d7aff64007a4014.pdf?sfvrsn=0
If you need brake parts, it often cost effective to replace the entire assembly.
