Here you go. Thank me later. This place is the best out there. I had them convert my oil bearings to grease a few months ago. They also fixed a bad bearing for me on the spot before that. Ask to speak with the owner Troy.

For what it's worth I just pulled my boat on a single axle trailer from New Orleans to Cedar Creek Lake (500 mi) and my oil bath hubs worked perfectly. It was almost all interstate driving, temps in the mid 90s. I blew out both tires on the trip but my hubs ran cool the entire way and never lost any oil. I had a spare hub and heavy wt oil with me, just in case, but they turned out to be the least of my problems.

But what type oil is in there? Looks like 90w gear lube.
50wt is the most common

Got home from the lake last night and noticed a burning smell. I immediately went and checked my hubs. Sure enough the front left hub on the dual axle trailer was very hot. Then, it got worse....
I noticed that the tire was sticking out further than normal. Since it was dark, I chalked the wheels and waited til morning. Upon inspection this morning, there is grease everywhere on the backside of the hub and the wheel has separated from the axle!

I'm lucky that the whole dang thing didn't come off! Now, I need to figure out how to fix it....

I hope the damage is minimum. I would plan on doing all 4 hubs to be safe.

Looks like the o-rings in mine are shot. A trip to Autozone to look for o-rings.

Bearings are easy to find , its the seals that are tough.

I check and grease every trip, those bearings are still going strong after 14 years. From San Antonio to Falcon to Amistad, again, and again, I have been darn lucky. Back to Amistad this next weekend!! Yahoo!!!!!

D&Y trailer in Alvarado just replaced all my bearings, seals and put two new bearing buddies on my trailer for $125.00 they did it while I waited too. Awesome place. I had been fighting my bearings for a while and it turns out while the seals fit inside my hub correctly they were a little loose on my spindle. Oh, it's a tandem axle trailer saying they put two new bearing buddies on may have been misleading. I had 3 good ones but bought a two pack so they used both of them and I kept the old one.
