Subject: RE: Ranger COOL Hubs to grease....?


I just got done changing my 1996 ranger trailer to grease. I had intentions of leaving them as cool hubs,as they were leaking I ordered new seals and took them aprart. The problem I had was i couldn't get the drain plugs out as they were rusted in. I didn't have quick access to a torch to heat them so I packed the bearings and replaced the seals and put them back together. I ordered some bearing buddies from bearing buddie but I got the wrong size and have to reorder. I'm sure this setup will work fine for my as my boat usaully travels abou 1/4 a year from home to the Lake of the woods where I live. And I won't have to worry about leaking oil on the garage floor. I think if your drain plugs are fine, and you can get them loose then simply order seals and replace them and fill the hubs up or get seals and grease them and put them together. Either waywill work. Maybe a little more maintenace with grease as long as your seals hold the oil back. Either way, good fishing and happy trailering.
