Update

Took the trailer in for a re-pack prior to a 1500 mile trip. Dealer had apparently tried out the EZ Lube option while the trailer was on the lot as grease was coming out the seals. Not only that, the spindle nut had been over-tightened (probably at the factory) and the threads were damaged. Not confident warranty will step up, but did find that you can replace the spindle only with the Torflex axle rather than having to buy a whole new axle. Guess that's good news. Really too bad you have to deal with such crappy workmanship on a brand new trailer......

Glad you caught that before you left on your trip!

And now you'll have that piece of mind of not having to worry about a wheel bearing burnout!

Believe me...it ain't fun when that happens!
