Tip -- if you ever do need to submerge the axles
In Response To: Yep.... ()

You probably know this Greg, but others might not: Wait until the hubs cool down before you put them in the water.... otherwise the cooling by the water will suck water into the bearings. Bearing buddies address this, but only if there's good grease pressure in the bearing buddy caps. I prefer to let them cool, even when using the bearing buddies.
