are the oil bath hubs that much better than the old skool way with grease??
Don't know about a party but I'm shooting for Sunday or Monday, weather permitting. Kinda worried about hooking up the brake system. Old brakes were removed by previous owner. Everything on the tongue end seems to be there but I don't know if it all will work. Never had a trailer with brakes before, so don't know much about them. I hear that bleeding may be a pain and I don't even know where to start that process. Jigflinger says he can come be straw boss, so maybe he can walk a dumb ole fireman through everything.
We shall see. Supposed to be nearly maintenance free...all the big rigs are running them.Quote:

I got a jack, jack stands impacts and plenty of sockets. Also if I can find it a hand vac that can be used for bleeding. Hopefully they blocked the lines and didnt drain all the fluid. Just shoot me a pm when you pick a day I'll bring my stuff over to. Can't never have to many tools.Quote:

Problem is Jig and I don't have jacks that go high enough to get you under where the work needs to be done. I can't see you being quiet long enough to listen to instructions. But you might make a Fetcher.Quote:

No, but the boat spent it's first 6 years in saltwater. Have a lot of corrosion going on and need to replace everything. Figured I would go with the cool hub system since that is what they are putting on them now. Plus...I hate grease!Quote:

You should replace the master cyl. & lines. You don't won't to push
The old rusty fluid into your new calipers, you will be changing the
Master cyl. Sooner than later once you put a load on it.
X2 takes two people one to push the trailer actuator and one to turn the screw on the brakes. Speaking from experience. Use lock tite #262 on the Jam nuts for to hold the calipers in place. Not in the manual this info was given to me by the Ranger Trail Manager. After Ranger had to replace my 3 set of calipers and rims when the calipers kept falling off. CANT RANGER SAY RECALL? :donoQuote:
