For those that have had manual hubs how often do you do maintenance on them? I've found info on "How To" but not on frequency. Every year, few years, ever?
I've had my new axles for a year now and have never had manual hubs before these. Just want to keep them in tip top shape. 🙂
Well, I know mine is a Suzuki and is not the same thing. Anyway, I've had my rig sense 1986 and I've pulled my locking hubs and regreased them at least once every 5 years or sooner if I feel that the wheel bearing needed to be adjusted. Also went with the if they were feeling a bit "stiff" locking them in, I think that time it was a 3 year span.
I broke my Warn D44 hubs at least once a year, so I never had to worry about maintaining them.
I used to do them every other year.
My new hubs require no grease, so I'm a little unsure if I should pull them apart and look at them every year...
If you do lots of water crossings, I would grease them every year. Ask Jeff...
