[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3191728, member: 29706"] Doesn't surprise me. Water is actually a very good solvent, it will eat through just about anything but it has to be pure water. If you have really hard water or a water softener it won't work as well. Used to have an RO/DI system for water filtration and after the system processes the water you are not supposed to use anything other than plastic lines as the water will leach away any metals. This is the reason why a lot of these water and ice places have water that tastes off since the RO the water and then run it through a copper line.

On the hub you would have to find a way to bag it and then pour the water in. Could take a couple heavy trash bags and zip tie a section around the axle tube then fill it with water and zip tie the top shut. Guaranteed to get in there at some point. [/QUOTE]
