Location: Oconto Falls, WI | I was looking to put some oil bath hubs on my trailer, but didn't. However, upon reading up on them everything I found on various manufacturers they all mention to fill half way. |

| Refill the hub completely with approxoimately 5 oz of 50 wt and reinstall the plug, if your trailer has the cool hubs. This is stated in my ranger owners manual. You may have a bad seal or they just didn't fill it properly.

| There should two lines on the clear plastic cover. Top line is maximum and bottom line in minimum. Anywhere inbetween is fine. If you have any questions, get your trailer serial nember, and call Charlie Smith at Ranger Trailers factory, great guy! |

Go to this page - http://www.tiedown.com/abearing.html.
Once there, there are a couple of links on the left side of the page - Turbo Lube Hub Kit Instructions and Turbo Lube Owners Manual. You want the Owner's Manual. It will show you each of the different versions of the hub as well as a blow apart diagram for rebuilding your hubs - I rebuilt mine this spring as I had lost the inner seals.
The instructions (and the hubs themselves) are VERY straightforward.
Good luck!
