How To Convert from Grease to Oil Bath Hubs
Updated 06/29/2020 | Published 06/25/2020
Question:
Hi I have Turbo Lube oil hubs that I need to switch to grease. Cap diameter is 2 1/4. What part number do you recommend?

In order to switch from grease to oil you'll need to know some detailed information about the trailer such as the grease seal diameter and hub bore diameter. That said, these measurements will need to be taken with a caliper down to the nearest thousandth of an inch. The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit part # XLPROLUBE2440KIT for example is commonly used on 5,200 lb - 6,000 lb axles. It has a 2.250" oil seal and a 2.440" oil cap.
