Hey guys,
As I am still new to the world of mechanics (but eager to learn) I apologize if these questions refer to the most fundamental of tasks. I've been putting some minor work into the Trekker (I replaced the alternator, alternator regulator and a new battery for good measure) but recently I've noticed that my swivel hubs or what I think are my swivel hubs, are leaking grease. Luckily I have talented friends who are willing to spend some time looking over the vehicle with me and offering recommendations to fix ol' Bruce up. Considering that grease is leaking out of the swivel hub area all over the inside of my tires is it safe to assume that I need to replace the whole assembly, or are there some minor tests, tricks or fixes that may save me some time or money? I'm a college kid remember, I do my best to give that truck the lovin' it deserves but I don't have a lot of expendable income at the moment.
