Trailer bearing protectors

[fishfeeder]

I am about to do a major trailer service, Brakes, bearings, hubs and Discs if I cant get them machined..

I have bearing buddies and they seem to work fantastic so will be keeping them. If they worked for the last 6years they must be bloody good.

Dura - hubs and no you dont need new stub axels, just some speedy sleeves if the stubs seals are damaged! I personally think there the best, not because you never have issues but when you do get water ingress you know instantly because you can see the oil go all foamy through the clear panels!

someone mentioned importing dura hub kits from the usa or is there an agency you can recoment in brissy to supply

i now have a 6.5 on a dual axle trailer and would be interested in up grading to dura hubs but can't seem to find anyone interested in helpimg with advice or leads

My bearings used to go after about two dunkings/launches.
I now pack the inner ribbed seal with grease and they last for years.

Thats standard practice with seals, if you expect them to last that is.

Durahub now has a online store and they are on sale at the minute. You can buy the complete kits. Only thing not included seems to be the stainless speedi sleeve or reddi sleeve which are necessary for trouble free life. Obviously start with new bearings as well.

Is there other brands of oil filled ones and are they any better? .


Edit - As they now offer or a box price on 6 sets at a discount - send them a message and I'm sure they will box up a full installation package with whatever you want in it if you don't have loctite and gear oil . Not sure if their rear seal is anything special be it a single or double lip seal.
