Thank you. Brake pads FYI come from a 1996 Kia Sephia, 19.00 bucks from O'Reilly's. I'm not kidding! Break the little squeally tab off the backing plate, you don't need that, takes 30 seconds to do 2.
No sorry. Your local marine dealer should know for your boat. You can also can your traler manufacturer and let them know your VIN#. Hope the video helps you though.
Very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make/post it. I have a tandem axle trailer under my seaark and I have vault bearings. Within 14 months I've had 3 bearings go out and it's quite frustrating. I've been told they should last at least 6 years but my personal experience is much different. How often are you having to change/fix your vault bearings?
Really depends on how much you drive and the roads conditions I think. Always check your trailer before during and after a trip. Hubs are supposed to be maint free but I don't believe that.
Yes, sorry if I missed that. When you take off the hub and bearings in front, there is a inner lip on the front lip that the old o-ring will need to be removed/replaced once cleaned...
Great video thank you,was lookung mine over and the vault hub doesnt look to be sticking out real far . Is it possible it needs grease? I will be sure to use the hybrid grease you recommended.
Question , I noticed your axle had the arm hub assembly, is your axle a tor flex type or spring suspension. I just recently had a vault seal go out on a marine master trailer, and now in the process of awaiting to changing the axle. I’m thinking of proper maintenance and awareness in my future , it’s a major setback for sure. Great video Sir.
The boat I had before (Triton) had a beast of a trailer. Aluminum I beam tandem with shocks and spring. 21'9" boat literally floated down the highway...
I have read to use blue loctite on caps before hammering them back on. i forgot to do this on last bearing replacement and drove first 150 mile trip and when i got home cap was gone!
@@tjswenson2394 I did not. Ended up having a way worse issue. Spindle was trashed once I got everything apart. Ended up having a shop replace the whole axle assembly. If you want my opinion I’d convert to an EZ lube axle that you can easily grease periodically. I’m no longer sold on Vault.
O-ring is inside front side of hub. Remove cap and look inside hub, you will see the grove and O-ring. Hope this helps, if you didn’t already figure this out.
Excellent job man … thanks for taking the time to film this.
Awesome vid. Just had a hub go out last week and I need to address the others. Thank you sir!
Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Watched it 10 times while installing my new set of bearings/seals. Mine was doing the same thing, inner seal was leaking. Thanks
Very informative, thanks for putting this together!
You're welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Definitely answered some questions I had
Great video man! I need to do this maintenance on my vault hubs. Thanks!
Great video! Very informative and detailed. The same thing happened to me and this video really helped.
good info, thanks
Do you remember what the part # was for the seal on the back of the hub/rotor? Was going to buy before I tore mine down.
No sorry. Your local marine dealer should know for your boat. You can also can your traler manufacturer and let them know your VIN#. Hope the video helps you though.
do you have to take take off and refill every so often just repack and fill the cap ?

Thanks for the video buddy
I enjoyed watching the video. Good information, but, did you put the rubber O-ring on, part of the Vault repair kit?
Yes, sorry if I missed that. When you take off the hub and bearings in front, there is a inner lip on the front lip that the old o-ring will need to be removed/replaced once cleaned...
how long did you beat on the seal before it came off?...I'm having some issues
Yeah they are in there pretty good. Takes some time sometimes. I just had to do one of my other wheels recently, and it was a bear.
Once you open it and grease it again. Do you still need to check yearly if grease still good or since it vault system you good for awhile?
I just check them after every few trip to make sure seals are still good and not leaking. Still good to go as of today!

Yes it is a torsion axle.

Really dumb question but if I need to replace brake rotors I would also need to remove and re pack the vault bearings correct?
Depends on your trailer. Some rotors are separate from the hub. Mine are 1 piece.
@@brewcrewfishing thanks for getting back to me mine is one piece same as yours this video was super helpful to me to redo my trailer brakes!
Thank you for this video! Tight lines!👍
Did you take the grease fitting back off or leave it on ?
I replaced it with a new one.
Take it off before putting the Vault hub back on.
What kind of grease did you use? Thanks and nice video
Dexter Vault Hybrid grease
So with these Vault hubs, should they be maintenance free till you notice a leak? I have these hubs on my new trailer and I’m not familiar with them.
Yup, like anything else. Just keep an eye on them, and if you see something, you may have to go back in and fix.
Thank you do you put any sealant on the vault befire tapping it in?
I have read to use blue loctite on caps before hammering them back on. i forgot to do this on last bearing replacement and drove first 150 mile trip and when i got home cap was gone!
Where does the O-ring go? On the cap?
I am trying to figure out the same. I just removed a set of vault from a boat trailer and I did not find any o rings yet it tells you to replace them.
Did you figure this out I’m wondering the same
