Service Brakes · at 10,000 miles · reported Feb 9, 2019
The lippert 7k lb axle grease seals were leaking when I disassembled the wheel seals and bearings in order to repack the bearings. The oil seal had leaked which resulted in a coating of grease on everything inside the brake drum and brake pads. I have 10k miles pulling this trailer. The brake pads still have much pad left. The axle spindle housing was full of grease, indicating either the dealer or factory used the quick grease zerk fitting and overfilled with grease which blew out the grease seal. I've read on jayco forums this is a common problem, so I never used the quick fitting myself…
