    My friend replaced the axle on his Skeeter trailer about 3 yrs ago ????

    He was told by Easy Loader that they had lifetime bearings and he didn’t have to do anything I told him I never heard of such a thing what’s your opinion???

    Most I know of is the Vault.. I think there 10 years no maintenance.
    Mine are 3 years old and I've had one start leaking.

    I have a Skeeter trailer (dual axle) with the Vault hub system and I made it 6 years before I had one start leaking. I knew It was a sign to redo them all. Did them all last season and all is well.

    Life time means different things to some companies.
    There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.

    It means for the lifetime of the trailer. For EZLoader, that’s about 2-3 years.

    Vault. I have replaced many on my 2011 Skeeter and it’s always the rear seal that starts to give out. Spews the grease all over the inner wheel.

    A sealed bearing set like the ones on the front of your newer truck should last forever. They are long overdue on trailers.

    There is no such thing as a lifetime bearing, AT ALL
