I have a one year old trailer. I just took apart 2 hubs (same side of trailer) and found that the inner bearings on both axles (same side of trailer) have grease "cooked on" to inside where they run against the spindle. Using solvent and a small brush, I could not remove all of the cooked on grease. Otherwise, the bearings look good. There is a very slight discolouration (cooked on grease) on the spindle. There was lots of grease in the bearings and hub, the trailer only has 6000 miles on it and is just over 1 year old now. I was doing the bearing prior to the next trip.
The brakes show no signs of any heat damage. During my first year using the trailer, I have weighed 3 times, never being overloaded. What could have caused this and do I have to replace the bearings and races?
Thanks for your knowledge, this is my first trailer.
