Title: Now a wheel issue!
Post by: Randy Perry on November 28, 2013, 06:36:55 PM

Awoke this morning and noticed the smell of gear oil and my right front wheel covered in it  :-/ The plastic cap on the hub was leaking, so I tried to push it back in place and cracked it  :o So tomorrow I'll head for Indio and see if I can get a fix! Anybody experience this and will I have to replace the whole assembly the cap snaps into (with 6 bolts)? Crap, what next??

Go to a truck shop or truck parts shop. There is a kit with a new plastic and rubber plug available for about $25.00. Just take measurements or a part number of the one on there now. You will loose some gear oil when changing so be sure to top off with correct gear lube. Marty
