    bearing question

    While removing the dust cap to check the bearings on my trailer, I noticed a small hole had somehow gotten punched in the cap. Once off, I saw some rusty residue inside the hub. After cleaning and repacking, I replaced the cap as I couldn't get a replacement that late at night. Should I...

    Bayliner 1750 LS
