I’m out and about with my motorbike trailer behind the car, stopped to have a pee and did a walk around check, noticed one grease nipple was missing - thankfully hubs feel cool


Is bunging the hole enough to get me going, or is there more to it - it doesn’t look like any grease has leaked out

Do I even need to worry, just don’t allow water to get in?

Any thoughts would be good - ta

It'll be fine, just stick a new nipple in at the earliest opportunity.

Get a new one as soon as possible
But should be fine short term the amount of water and grit that could enter will be minimal
