I have a 2006 triton boat trailer with bearing buddies. They have the black cover. How do you check if it needs grease? How do you get the cover off? How do you add grease? It has a hole in the side of the spindle. Any other information is appreciated. I have searched the web and found basically nothing.
They should be oil filled hubs. Check on http://www.ufpnet.com/ for the manual, etc. My personal opinion, if they're not leaking, leave them alone.
Thanks for the info. That's exactly what they are. The UFP trailer buddy gold axle. Which are oil filled. The site has a manual also. The only other question I have now is which is best? Oil or grease? Some forums say oil is good if you use the boat less and grease if you use it more. Any idea?
I have the oil bath hubs and fish about twice a month, with a distance of 100 miles each trip. I also make long trips during the year.. I just keep a good eye on them.. I like them.
