    2006 ranger trailer?

    I have a 2006 ranger single axle trailer and it still has the original hubs on it. I have changed the hub oil but that’s it. My question is before the tournament season starts should I replace the hubs? Just don’t want to be hours away from the house and have a problem. Or can I pretty much figure if there not leaking that I am good to go.

    I would check the front and rear side of each wheel for any seepage of oil. If none, then all I would do is drain the current oil out and replace with new. DON"T disturb the cap, that could start a leak at the front. As long as you have no leaks, you should have no issues.

    THIS^^^. The old saying, "If it ain't broke, DO NOT fix it" applies here.

    ^^^Yep, I had a 2003. Swapped the hubs last year before I sold it as one was just showing a light weep(Oil wasn’t milky). Ranger will send you basically complete sets with hubs, seals, and bearings, I carried them on long trips for a couple seasons just for worst case but never needed.
