Finally bit the bullet and ordered some SuperWinch hubs... anyone got any fitting tips? guess they should be pretty straight forward....

Replace the axle support bearing and seals in the back of the hub, or you could slog out the centres of the hubs, and only use light oil on them, the guy i talked to in auckland about mine said they are self lubing but like a bit of oil when you assemble them, and incase you don't notice like i didn't, the small, tapered cap screws will probably be 1/8" imperial head, not metric. Otherwise they are easy to do.

So this guy said, it say's that in the manual somewhere to, it did in mine anyways. He said if you do feel the need to use grease make sure it is very very thin, so in other words, just a light smear of engine oil. I thought it was a bit odd at first to, but they are supposed to know what they are on about!!!
