How much grease?

[Dyllan]

Today I did a quick check to make sure everything on the tralior is good to go for the 700 mile trip to FL. from VA.. My question is this???
When I was putting grease in the bearing with a grease gun,, how much do you put in there? I was pumping the grease gun untile I starting seeing grease come out around the zerk fitting where the grease gun was attached. Then cleaned out the buddy bearing cap and put the rubber cap back on......
Is this too much grease?

Is the grease suppose to come out?

How often should I add grease during the trip?

And what do I do if when I check the tires and on of them is very hot to the touch?

Thanks,

Mark

Grease should not come out around the zerk fitting, it will push past the rear seal on the backside of the wheel.
