Hello everyone,
So, I'm building a trailer from a 1 ton truck. I've removed the axle shafts, ring, pinion, and everything from the rear end to save weight and lower rolling resistance. All that remains are the (fully floated) hubs, and the housing itself.
I'm wondering, would I be okay using some type of 303 light oil in this? Normally I wouldn't think of it, but as there are only 4 wheel bearings left in this rear end, I don't see why not. There are no gears meshing, no torque going through anything, etc. Just the four bearings. Some have suggested that I pack the bearings with grease and use no oil, but I'm not really comfortable with that. The 303 oil costs a fraction of what gear oil does and I can't actually think of a reason not to use it here. I understand it'll heat up more, but with the now empty cavity it will hold GALLONS of oil to disperse the heat, thus I'm not concerned with this.
