Difference Between Oil Bath Hub and Grease Hubs  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Yes, oil hubs and grease hubs use the same cavity to oil and grease, through the center cap. The main difference is a standard grease hub for an EZ lube spindle is grease is pressed into place and maintained through the center cap and an oil bath hub cap, has a rubber seal, holds oil and screws into the hub.

The Kodiak Disc Brake kit part # K2HR79E is an oil bath hub so the center cap of the hub fills with oil. The oil in the center cap oils the spindle while you going down the road. You want to fill the oil bath cap with oil part # XLPROLUBE up to the bottom of the black rubber plug on the front of the oil cap. You do not have to refill or replace the oil unless it the cap leaks or the oil looks milky.
