    Stratos Trailer hubs

    On my 2007 StratosTrail the hub has a black plastic center cap surrounded by a chrome ring that has a spring behind it. Before I mess something up, do I pry out the black cap to access the grease fitting or do I remove the chrome ring first?

    My guess is your hubs are oil filled.

    Re: Stratos Trailer hubs (Sterling)

    I thought that I was told at the dealer that they were oil filled,but after seeing a few posts on oil filled hubs having a see through front I am not sure. All of my previous trailers had visible alamite fittings covered with a bearing buddy cover.I see no way to view the oil level on my hubs. Any help appreciated.I don't want to pry off something and wind up replacing a hub.

    they are see thru, but the oil makes it black. I made the mistake of tryign to pry mine off. needless to say I had to call the trailer manufuacture to get a new one. leave them alone if you do not see oil behind the wheel.
