    Default 2007 Ranger trailer convert from oil to grease hubs


    i have single axle Ranger trailer with oil hubs that i want to convert to grease hubs. Trailer has surge brakes. Does anyone know the part number for the Vortex hubs with rotor kit that includes spindle? hub/rotor is single piece not two part.

    I converted my Cool Hubs to Vortex 2 years ago and it was money well-spent. Call Ranger parts with your trailer SN and they can pull up the exact big assemble you need for your specific trailer. My four hubs arrived via UPS preassembled on the spindle and ready to install. They were also cheaper ordering from Ranger, go figure. Just a matter of heating that old spindle up and and applying enough force with a 3lb sledge to get it to pop out. It’s a whole lot easier with the boat off the trailer so you have more room to swing that bad boy.

    Disclaimer: since Johnny Morris bought Ranger, wait times to speak to a parts associate that were once less than 5 minutes are now often more than an hour. I suggest calling and leaving your phone on speaker phone while you’re doing something else while waiting. It sucks that one of the company’s best selling points for Ranger owners to support their customers has now taken a dump with new ownership. Typical big corporate mentality to save a few dollars by downsizing an already small department that set them apart from their peers.
