Ranger 2009 Trailer leaking hubs

Post by Rod Martin »

2009 single axle trailer. Should I stay with the oil hubs or go to grease ?




Thanks

I lost the oil in one of the hubs on my 2007 Ranger single axle. Didn't realize it until someone pulled up beside me and said my trailer wheel was on fire. Switched to grease and have never looked back.

I concur with Jim and Mark! Go with grease. Just get bearing Buddies and keep a grease gun in your tow vehicle to pump a little grease before you launch.

Thanks , I think those vortex hubs look good I like being able to flush grease thru.
