anyone ever re-packed the whell bearings on a Komet trailer?
I don't know when this was last done on my trailer but I'm thinking
it's something I should do this winter.

Coming in a little late, but...

Nothing to it. *I did mine several times when I owned my old (circa
1981) Komet. * It was about an hour to maybe an hour and a half to
finish both sides. *Pull the wheel. *Pry off the cap. * Unpin the
castelated nut. *Loosen nut. * Pull the hub.

Was there something specific that got you wondering?

I wasn't sure if all Komet trailers had sealed bearings or not, guess
I'll have to look. I don't know the vintage of my trailer.
The video Daryl posted is excellent.
I'll check it out this weekend

Thanks,
