    Carry a can of grease and a wide putty knife. Grease the 5th wheel, Raise the trailer, back under then lower the trailer down. Your lube will last longer.

    I always use the regular hose and tip, but only squirt it on the bottom half of the 5th wheel. Then I hook back up normally and, more or less, use the 5th wheel plate as the putty knife.

    Tho something many people are not aware of? (Grease guns) There is a wonderful adapter for sealed bearings known as a grease needle. You stick this on the one of the gun and puncture the rubber seal. This way the non greaseable bearings can be refilled. It is also good for packing bearings. Slip the needle between the rollers and pump away. No need of the wad of grease on your hand. Unless you like getting that filthy.
