My last trailer he Vault hubs and I never had any trouble with them in the 4 years I had it. I was always wondering when one would fail. My new trailer had Dexter EZ lube axels. I like this system better because I can pop the cap off a few times a year to inspect and pump fresh grease in and get the old out. A little maintenance goes a long way.
You are better off pulling them and packing manually.
I have a picture somewhere of a person who covered his brakes with grease. I have EZ-lube on my travel trailer. I never use it...hand pack only. If you have disc brakes, at least you see the grease if it gets past the seal.

A little common sense goes a long way! If there isnβt any grease coming out the front of the hub then the seal needs to be replaced. Plus donβt pump it in fast with an electric or air grease gun!

I had the vault hubs on my Heritage trailer for my old Rinker, and loved them. Never had a problem, and was actually stunned anything like that existed when I went to service them after the first year of ownership. My ne McClain trailer (purchased 2 months ago) also has the Vault hubs, and so far, so good. They have about 1,750 miles on them from me already.
I do like the Dexter axles EZ Lube system though as well. I have those on my camper trailer, and they are very easy to maintain.

Nice! Did you go to the regatta? Itβs been a crazy couple years for us, so not a lot of boating. Between buying a new house, putting a TON of work into it, then finding out I had a little sister I never knew about and bringing her to stay with us for all of last summer, then putting in a pool this summer, ainβt had much time to splash the old girl. Hoping next summer is a return to normal, and a lot more boat time.
