    Wheel bearing help

    I have a new trailer that has Reliable hubs I have never seen before. (See picture). I have always had bearing buddies that had a grease fitting. I was attempting to find the grease fitting so I screwed off the cap which I thought was just a dust cover. Oil poured out. There was no grease...
