Yep I like them because the grease fitting is in the caps...that means the cross hatch is not hollowed out. I would think solid cross hatch would be stronger?

Now I just have to change them...how hard is it to get the axles out? Is there C-clips? I never changed one before so I dont know. Anyone have a mechanical breakdown of the hub assembly for reference or is it pretty simple to take all this apart and get it back together? Like I said I never taken a hub apart and dont want to take a million pieces off and not be able to get it back together.

its still has passages inside, grease goes from that cap w/ the fitting , threw the u joint to the other caps.   Yeah theres C-clips.. its not fun... im on break right now, been tryin to get mine out for the last 20 minutes haha.

before you even dig into it go get the socket with the 4 teeth on it for taking the axle nut out... instead of spending a hour like i did last night turnning it 1/70th of a turn at a time with a chisel and hammer.

then u just take the 6 nuts off of the bolts holding the dust cover on.. get a chisel and sperate the hub from the axle and pull the whole assymbly out.

What a RIP OFF...LOL! Yeah I just opened the box and thought each cap had it's own Zert fitting...but after taking one out your right, the grease flows through the whole U-joint.
