    Oil Bath Hubs

    What is the warranty on the seals/o-rings? Are they hard to install if not covered under warranty? What type of oil do they take and how much does each hub hold?

    Changed the seal in one of mine...not hard at all. Just be really careful putting the new seal in. Get it in straight and don't ding or bend it. I used a piece of wood and a plastic dead blow to tap mine in. The oil is a 50 W hub oil, available at just about any auto parts store. Doesn't take much to fill it, maybe 1/3 quart or so. Just keep filling until it completely covers the sight glass.
