I have a lesson learned to share. I've heard it said "you can never have too much grease". That's not true and I learned it the expensive way. The hubs on my trailer have the built in grease zerks sometimes referred to as "bearing buddies".
When I first got my trailer, I was determined the wheel bearings where going to last forever. So I greased the crap out of them. Well when the seals start to wear, all that extra grease ends up on the inside of the brake drums.
While attemptting to diagnosis the problem i thought it had to be electrical, no brakes. Grease and brakes don't mix.
It could have been worse, could have had the the trailer push me somewhere I didn't want to go.
