Lads, do you use ordinary grease or would you bother with marine grease for jockey wheels, moving parts etc. on your trailer?

i would use marine grease the trailer would be entering the salt water and for that reason i go for marine grade

for bearing and such I would use Marine grease. For the jockey wheel and such normal grease would be fine, but I use Marine grease myself.... fecking salt water. Cleaning the hubs at the moment.

Will do Pete.... I wouldn't mind a Porgie as well. :wink:

Just striping the hubs and brakes at the moment and giving them a clean. No need for new shoes just yet, but I have a spare set anyway. Bowden cables were sticking a little so I will be replacing these as well...... I tow with a car, so the aul brakes have to be 100%

I'll have a very interesting follow up to my "Wurth" spray on grease thread in a few days. I just need a little time to pull it together.

Spray done really well Sean, I will post up some pics of the sprayed backplate v's the non sprayed.... very interesting. I will be going over to the store for some more in the next few days. Wurth AL1100 if you come across it. Send me a PM if you want some and I'll post it down.

Cheers Kev, I'll try some motor factors roundabout to see if they keep it, sounds less messy than the blue grease job :!:
