do I have to repack that axle bearing, or is it lubed another way?


Good idea to check the manual, but my gut tells me to always pack 'em, even if they can be lubed from an external grease fitting or internally from the axle. At the least, it will assure they have initial lubrication as soon as the wheel starts to roll. Just like in an engine, the most wear comes in the first few seconds until lubrication gets to all moving parts.

If I'm all wet, someone come in and give me 20 lashes with a wet noodle.
