I had to do mine last season. When tracking down parts (which I eventually got from Pacific Trailers) I was told that the tapped hubs are no longer available from Ranger they have gone to the hybrid which of course would not retro fit my single axel trailer. It was suggested that I just go to grease. After some research I was able to determine that Ranger uses UFP Trailer components, which I got from Pacific Trailers. Was able to find what I needed ALOT cheaper for seals etc. The tear down was related to a prior tear down a week before and the sight hub coming loose on a 2 hour trailer run, how I didn't melt spindle is beyond me. Centrifical force I guess. What I learned dealing with Pacific is THESE ARE NEVER TO BE REUSED as the press fit of them is used up when installed. This was news to me, and I was #*^@ lucky I didn't have problems earlier on the 6 years life from prior change.
