| I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but I have the same issue. Noticed a leak on both sides about halfway back (400 miles) from Canada. Can't see anything through the glass, even with a flashlight, Best I can tell the oil bath hubs are either full, and the leak is minor (i.e. I can take it somewhere) or they're bone dry and it's a ticking time bomb.
Now that I see here that you can just order the whole hub assembly for half the cost of a reel, I'm back to thinking it's an easy DIY project. Lacking a set of calipers and a torque wrench, though, I'm thinking doing it myself would be easily as expensive as having someone else do it. I'd have some cool tools to show for it, and it might be a good thing to know how to take these things apart, fix them, and put them back together in case I wind up on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
It's not the first time in my life, but it's one of the few where I actually have no idea what to do... | |
