I just received a new copy of the Champion trailer and parts catalog
featuring their Spindle-Lube hub lubrication system. They claim you can
change the grease in the hub without removing the hub or the wheel from
the trailer. Basically you pump new grease into the spindle through a
grease fitting. The grease flows through the spindle to the rear of the
hub, and then flows forward pushing the old grease out as it goes.
Supposedly you can completely remove all the old grease and replace it
with new in about 5 minutes per hub. They claim the system is
completely sealed and no water can get in.

This sounds better than bearing buddies. Has anyone had any experience
with this system?
