[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 109616, member: 863"] No doubt I'll be replacing the bearings, I'm not going to bother with repacking them or anything. The trailer didn't have dust caps on the hubs, it doesn't surprise me since it is registered as a homemade trailer (the tongue isn't the original one that was on this trailer). Here's what I think I'm going to do based on your feedback and my research- buy 2 new wheels/tires, and clean up/paint the current wheel I have that isn't bent, and mount it as a spare, for now. If I'm able to replace the bearings and I don't find any other issues, I'll keep these hubs and spray them with some rust neutralizing paint once I get them cleaned up and the bearings switched, and then slap some dust caps on them. I still prefer the bearing buddy type hubs, and will probably get those as finances allow. I'll also eventually replace the spare wheel with one that has a tire that isn't dry rotted. This one isn't bad, I'm sure it will be fine as a spare for a while. I've got a Tractor Supply store 5 minutes from my house, I'll stop by there and see what they have in stock. [/QUOTE]
