The trailer has super singles, which we like.
A new axle seal will only last about 6 or 7 month, so with the 4 axles we are replacing all the time.
The axles have the Stemco single nut system and when we replace a seal the Stemco procedure is followed.
Were using Lucas hub oil, but for the last 2 seals switched to synthetic 75-90 which have not leaked yet, but has been only a couple of months.
One guy we know packed bearings with grease and changed end caps and according to him has not had any problems.
I have heard that changing to grease can be hard on the spindles.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Don’t use the Lucas it clogs the breath hoe in the cap. It builds pressure and u get a leaky wheel seal
