I removed all the rollers from the trailer and pulled them apart so everthing metal could be sand blasted, then painted.

Everything has been blasted and painted but I am not sure whether to grease all the rollers, pins and flat washers before I put them together for instalation.
I guess what I am asking is which grease to use or to use none.
Thanks

Re: Trailer rollers

grease is gooooooood ;)

Marine grease is better. Unless it is brakes, grease is rarely a problem to protect trailer parts and a must for moving parts. On land my grandpa lubed everything from nails to hand saw blades with motor oil to protect for corrosion. I use WD40. In engines I use white grease and marine applications marine grease.

All friction points should be greased, otherwise your beautiful paint with be replaced with nice shiny, then rusty, metal. It is not a one time application.
