You talking about the clear looking ones like on most rangers, etc.?
If so then no.

I thought they were the bearing buddies (the ones with the alamite on the outside), but they aren't. If you take the plastic cover off....its just the flate metal (reservoir that expands).....but it looks impossible to take off without taking off the wheel.

I usualy take my hubs off and repack the bearings. Just peace of mind for me.

That's what I'm asking......it looks like you can't take the hub off unless you take the wheel off.

I have to take my wheel off. The brake drum and hub is all one piece.

I was trying to avoid that....but it looks like I don't have a choice.

all these years and you are just now asking this question?...........boy, that must have made a blister or two

Its like the "vault" one with the stainless steel protector on the outside.

Then their oil bath hubs by the way it looks.

[willfish4food]

I thought oil bath had a sight glass.

Then there oil bath hubs......If you pull the cap off and clean around the spendle nut you will notice a little hole...You screw in a zirk fitting and grease them with appoved Vault grease..... If i was you i would get in touch with Them and get a couple tubes of it...The kit will come with seals, synthetic grease and zirk fitting....Pull them all apart and clean thoroughly then refill using the grease gun

Turns out it does have an alamite....behind the stainless steel proctective piece. Bearings have been greased.
