    Those bearings have at least 2 different races that fit them and the one that typically comes with is the wrong size for a Ufp vault hub, have to order the correct race seperate. I think the standard...

    Double check what they give you at NAPA. I picked up a couple 2.56x1.68 at my local store and they ended up being 1.72" ID, which is a more common size on trailer axles. Didn't catch it until I was...

    If done properly, you should be able to add grease to an EZ Lube system as often as you want and not cause a leak. Very different than Bearing Buddy type. A leak with this type of system indicates an...

    If they already converted then your medium-term solution is simply replacing the Vault caps with the "regular" cap of your choice. The O-rings aren't important for a grease system but you could...

    The Vortex hubs have a grease zerk on them so as long as you use that you’ll be fine without the hole for the spindle lube.

    If you have the rotor off, grab the part number off the seal. Outside bore is 1.98, inner seal could be 2.33 or 2.56.

    Carry a tube of Red n Tacky and a bearing buddy. In the event of a blown seal, this is the Dexter approved “just get my ass home” solution.

    Have had a Vault with basically a complete seal failure and grease all over the inner wheel with the cap still sticking out. Tapped on it and it "popped" free and retracted to flat.

    You should never be pumping grease all the way through the rear seal. The reason you get water in is because you ruin the seal by pumping grease through it. If you only take short trips you can...

    I don't know for sure, but given that Marine Master was using Vault hubs at one time, there is a fairly decent chance that those are UFP oil bath setups. They also used the 1.68" inner diameter...

    Remember to apply a thin film of grease to the wear sleeve and seal after replacement. You'll take a lot of life off both if they start out running dry.

    That seal will work with grease. An L68111 race will not fit a hub sized for L68110. L68111 is the “standard” size sent with that bearing so you will normally have to also order the L68110 race...
