Trailer axle maintenance: tires, brakes, and bearings

https://quebeck-wiki.win/index.php/Trailer_axle_maintenance:_tires,_brakes,_and_bearings

I do a full walk-around on my trailer axle before any long trip: check tire pressure and look for uneven wear, then I pull a hub to inspect the brake pads and make sure the adjusters aren't frozen. Finally, I jack up each wheel to feel for bearing play and give them a fresh coat of grease if they feel dry. It's dull work, but I've seen what happens when you skip it.
