And don't forget an appropriate jack to the trailer. Most totally forget about that part until too late.

I tend to open mine up when trailer returns to home base, let water drain out if any is in there. Leave the cap off to allow drying out until a few warm sunny days have passed. Then stuff more grease in on top of old, and re-install bearing caps. My towing is 20 miles to nearest ramp, expressway speeds.
