^^^^^^^^^^^^^... They're very easy to work on... The grease is a different animal though... Dan

Right now I’m trying to find the hybrid grease. The one place I found over here will just change out the whole hub and I don’t need that, besides being very costly. Gonna try a Triton dealer in Shreveport in the morning.

Gonna try a Triton dealer in Shreveport in the morning. I use regular grease in mine. After a year of dealing with them vault hybrid goop on my wheels, I changed the seals for the last time. I put Lucas Red & Tacky in mine. Problem free and they run as cool as the vault grease. Same seals, same bearings, same vault caps.

Brakes for trailers dot com has the best prices for Vault parts and the hybrid vault grease Brakes 4 TrailersIf you text that number on the website link above, it is the owners personal cell number. He will respond day/night weekends. Doesn’t matter. He’s always there.

There's a really good trailer shop in White Oak. I've used them a few times and have been impressed each time.

Like Steez said, if you just have to have the vault hybrid grease just order it online.

When my vaults started leaking I swapped to grease seals and bearing buddies.

When my vaults started leaking I swapped to grease seals and bearing buddies. Even the Vault hub parts dealers recommend this. They said the hybrid oil is just too thin at normal operating temperatures to NOT leak. The manual says “some seepage is normal”. Not normal to me. I hate greasy leaking hubs.
