Hey fellas,
I have a little jon boat trailer that is about 40 years old. I'm getting new tires today, but when I removed them I noticed on the back of the right side tire, it looks like the seal on the hub has blown out and grease has sprayed everywhere.
Is this something that can be repaired - and is it worth repairing? I was also considering just replacing the hubs with some "pre-packed" new ones that I can order. If we go that route, I'm curious how to get the proper size. Do I need to measure the axle (2" diameter) or the spindle that the hub mounts on?
(I have Bearing Buddies - do those actually keep the bearings continuously greased, or just add a layer of grease to keep water out of the hub assembly?)
On another note, I noticed that my rear turn signal won't work. How would you recommend going about fixing this?
Thanks guys - I'll try to grab a few pics. Much appreciated!

If you’re mechanically inclined, you can probably fix the bearing problem yourself. If not, any decent mechanic or trailer repair place can fix your bearing and light at a reasonable cost. The light probably needs a bulb, which you can replace.
