Trailer brakes faint

If you have a steerable endoscope it is easy to go in through the 3/8” hole in the backing plate and have a look at the seal. That is how I found one of mine was leaking. Much easier than pulling the drums.

I think the general opinion is to not use the ez lube zerk to pack the cavity full of grease, as you will squeeze it past the seal. The port is at a bearing, and if used, should just require a couple of pumps while spinning the wheel to lube the bearing. My port has never been used because I did not want what I discovered to happen.
