We did our own, but i did ask a dealer here in Nashville, just out of curiosity. They quoted us $275, included bearing pack, seals and brake adjustment.

Default axel's

Most dealers will charge about 2hrs labor and about $10.00 for seals and about $5.00 for supplies witch includes the grease. This is for a double axel trailer, a single axel would be about half.

Sam is right on the labor charge... about two hours in my experience. In our area (inland Pacific Northwest), the RV dealer I generally go to charges $105 per hour for labor. Any competent mechanic can repack a wheel bearing, so when I have our car mechanic do the job it costs about $70 per hour. Best price of all is to follow Neal's lead and do them yourself! Its not much more difficult than setting up camp, and the price of the tools is much less than the labor cost! Jim

Can anyone tell me what size of grease caps are used? I've only seen 2.441" and 1.98". I would like to give them a try on my next trip and see how they work. I promise to report back and let everybody know how they worked.
