Hannay's on Central Ave. in Minneapolis carries the lube for them. I installed them on my shorelander and they work great.

Liqua lube hubs are the best thing out there. The only maintenance is that you change the lube and make sure they stay leak free. I've been an installing dealer for several years now and have not had a problem with any. The company recommends changing the lube yearly but I have gone two years without a problem. In normal use the lube will turn slightly brown. You will like this system. Sounds like the other post has located the lube you need in your area, so you should be all set-Tom

How much are these hubs?

I had these on a trailer also. They are not fool proof!!! To make a long story short, a rock kicked up and broke the plastic housing. Didn't find out till it was to late. I would never use these if the plastic hub design is what I have to choose from. Food for thought

A metal cover is now available to cover the plastic caps. Even though the caps are heavy plastic, a stone can break them. The metal caps were designed for the Western states where there are many gravel roads. The price for a Liqua-lube system is $89.95 per axle and the metal protectors are about $25. I've never sold the metal protectors here in Wisconsin.

Thanks for the info, I will be looking at installing this system again.
