@@Digginok so it goes in from the side? Like I need to take clear plastic hub nut off and feed it? I was hoping there would be a plug on top of axle tube or something
I do not know, I bought a cheap Chinese set of sockets 25 years ago. If I get time I’ll try to get it for you. Side note I have since switched to grease instead of oil, it has been the best so far. No more hub seal leaks. Dexter has a builtin on it.
Digginok Yesterday I was working on my 10k dual dexter axle and I couldn’t find the socket to remove the axle retainer nut, tomorrow I will check on Nationwide Trailers and see if I can find the right socket 2 5/16. I highly appreciated the fees back.
Mike's Bobcat Services, LLC - Michael Lambrecht I basically cleaned the bearings and hand packed them with grease, replaced the seal and used the same procedures for setting them. The grease should be changed out yearly would be best, but I occasionally jack up the trailer and check for excess slack. That would indicate failure.
Is that a Dexter 9-32 hub stamp? I have a 1994 Fleetwood Southwind with a Ford F53 chassis. I am looking for information about my hub and the seals needed for servicing it.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was taught, fifty years ago ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Hey! where were you a month ago☻ I could have keep you busy for a week LOL good job Frank
Thank you my friend. I’m on the road currently and have a dumb question….where do you fill the hub oil at? Got a leaky seal and need to add oil
The center plug on the cap, it’s rubber

Did u hammer it all the way till seal bottomed out or just to top lip?
Just flush with top.
I have a 20' gooseneck dump trailer I was wondering how can I find out the capacity of hub oil I'm going to do a change
I have since repacked mine with grease. Seals were always leaking.
@@Digginok what kind of grease do you use? I'm having the same leaking seal issue on my 40' gooseneck
@@perryfeaster8931 any wheel bearing grease will work, I used the same gun grease I use for equipment. It’s 3% moly
What size socket are you using and what size axles do you have
Nice work. What make and year is your trailer?
MS Earthworks Its a 1999 model, west wind is the brand, they are out of business now.
something always needs fixing
hammerdwn20 That is a fact, used to think I would get caught up someday, ha.
How do I go from Hub oil to a grease system
