My Conquest is starting to take on water, and after swimming my Argo without the floor pans, I have determined the water is coming in around the wheels. My unit has 250 hours and I have been told I should go ahead change out the bearings,seals, gaskets, etc. That will solve the problem.

My question is how do I determine if my bearings are bad or is there something else that could be causing the leaking issue that is not as drastic a repair job. If the problem is bearings, how difficult a job is it to make the repairs. Thanks.
