    Worksman Trike Front Drum Brake Port O Trike Trifecta

    Thanks fellas, will just leave her be then. The hub bearing kinda sounds a bit dry but may just hold off til I find some info on it. May email worksman about it but last time I did they gave a kinda light response on servicing and leaned towards replacing part instead. Thanks for the heads up...
