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.
Get the numbers off the bearings, hubs are sold based on the size of the bearings.
I removed it and replaced with a neoprene cover off Amazon. Much easier to work with.
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...
Wear sleeves are on the spindle and are what the seal rides on. Fairly easy to replace and if you are leaking that soon after new hub assemblies I would guess they are your problem. The other...
Exact same thing with a UFP caliper and EZ Loader trailer a couple years ago. Some family took the boat on a 1200 mile trip into Canada and back and then the caliper came loose and punctured a wheel...
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...
I always use a little red rtv on mine.
As long as you’re close, don’t sweat it too much. As Catfan mentioned, the difference in forces between the 2 axles will be practically nothing.
If you are wanting to stick with oil bath, I think Dexter still makes a lot of UFP replacement parts. Not sure if anything changed from 18 years ago, but I'm pretty sure I've seen parts around for...
They are relatively easy and straightforward to do and they have a good step by step walkthrough that guides you through it. More messy than difficult really..

When you slide the rails out, the injectors are on the backside of them, between the rails and rest of the motor. The injectors will either stay in the rails or stay in the motor, if they stay in the...
Sounds like probably do have something stuck. Very easy to inspect/test. Loosen the lock nuts on the fuel rails so you can slide them back (don’t need to actually remove them). Thermostat housing is...
Ironically noticed mine is missing just the other day too. Part diagram is a little hard to read, anyone have part number for replacement?
Sticky hotfoot has caused that at times for me. Pull back on it when the problem is occurring. Easy fix if that’s all it is.
Do the caps still stick out indicating good seal and pressure on the bearings? If yes (unlikely, in my opinion) then jack up the tires and check for excessive play and/or noise during rotation. If...
Open or short circuit for that injector. Believe the CDS can tell you specifically which issue if you get it to a dealer for a printout.
