96 Ranger Trail with mags, Lube ?

[Big T Bassman]

I just bought a used ranger with a ranger trail trailer. The mag wheels have a flat matching cover that doesn't appear to allow enough room to install bearing buddies. Clearance appears to be less than an inch. Does anyone have something they use for a better lube system for this set up. It now just has the knock off cap on the axle. Thanks T

Hey fellow Basser, We are allmost neighbors, well, allmost. I live here on Ten Mile Lakes in Oregon, Be glad to show ya around if you ever get over this way.<br /><br />Well, as to your problem, You could allways use a hole saw, ya, I know, a bit Okie, but it could look good if done carefully depending on those caps. I dont know on anything else.

I have 94 Ranger Mags on my boat trailer now. I used the original center caps with the wheels. I have SS bearing buddies also. I did as lubedude said , and cut the center out of the caps. The bearing buddies are now flush with the middle of the center cap. I also cut the hole about 1/8th" bigger to accomidate the bearing buddy bras.<br /> Looks good!
