How do I Change My Ez-Lube Hubs to Oil Bath Hubs on My 7k Axles?

Question:

Good evening, I have a 2021 Grand Design Solitude S-Class. I have 7k Dexter axles i believe with the Ez-Lube hubs. I would like to switch to oil bath hubs. What do you recommend? What oil is okay to use in the hub?

The first thing you need to do is clean out all of the grease from the bearings, the hub, and the spindle on your 7k axles. Once that is complete, you simply swap out the grease seal for the oil seal included with the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE2440KIT. This particular kit has an inner diameter of 2.25" and an outer diameter of 3.376". I recommend confirming your inner diameter of your grease seal to make sure you have the correct kit for the change.

As far as what oil to use in the hub, we recommend bearing lube like the Kodiak XL Prolube included in the # XLPROLUBE2440KIT.
