Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure these grease nipples are compatible with your trailer's hub size (4" PCD) and metric fittings before installation.
Tools: You may need a grease gun, wrench, or other tools to remove the old nipples and install the new ones.
Installation: Remove the old grease nipples. Clean the area around the hub. Screw the new grease nipples into the hub until they are snug. Do not overtighten.
Greasing: Use a grease gun to inject grease into the nipples. Follow your trailer's maintenance schedule for greasing frequency. The surface-sprung ball check will prevent grease from flowing out when not in use.
