I have a vault hub leaking out of the front. I have watched videos and don’t feel comfortable doing the work myself. Where on the east side of Dallas can I take it to get the bearings replaced and new vault hub put on? Or should I just buy the entire assembly and just replace it? I’m new to vault hubs.

Buy new one and replace, then rebuild it as a backup

Not that hard to redo them just a little messy because of the oil in them. If you want someone to do it I'd check with McGill Trailers in Lewisville.

I had 2 vault covers fall off. Replaced them with bearing buddies. Had more problems than ever with those 2 tires.
I finally just bought 4 hubs/spindles from the factory and replaced all 4.
I feel much more comfortable on the road than had i repaired myself. Just depends on how much co fidence one has in their abilities. I was once pretty confident in my repairs, not so much anymore.
