Ford or Holden Hubs

Post by BarneyRubble »

Hi All,
I hardly bring the boat into town (Darwin) and would like to set up a spare with hub already installed.

I have an Oceanic single axel trailer to suit a 5m with mechanical breaks.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF OCEANIC ARE HOLDEN OR FORD hub? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Not an expert, but the Small bearing of a Ford hub will slip over your thumb, and a Holden one will not.
If you are doing the hubs, there are 2 different Holden hubs, and Ford.
Measure the distance between the Studs, before you go in.
And check what is inside the box, before you leave the shop.
Don't believe the packaging.

I have ford bearings in my oceanic. She's a 2009 single axle. Pretty sure almost all are ford.

Thanks all, I rang BH yesterday as they are the Oceanic dealers they were very hesitant with their answer so ended up pulling the dust cap off and having a look myself. After measuring the axle and looking at some numbers I got off the internet, im looking at Holden bearings in the hub with a Ford studd pattern... anyone know why they do this?

Next question anyone know any place open today where I can ring up, that are competant enough to understand and pay over the phone?
