Re: replace new hubs

Ahoy, PMMA<br /><br />Your bearings have siezed in that hub.<br /><br />At the least it will need new bearings and races, maybe a new hub, too.<br /><br />While you are at it replace the bearings in the other hub as well.<br /><br />Grease the bearings thoroughly and put bearing buddies on both.
