Features to know about

5 Years Without Adding or Changing Lubricant


Cross section of Vault installed

Once the Vault system is filled and installed, you can leave the lubricant alone. Adding or changing the lubricant is not necessary or recommended during the first five years of service. That means no routine topping off, and the system stays closed while it protects and lubricates your trailer bearings. It's also backed by Dexter's 5-year limited warranty.

Hybrid Lubrication That Changes with Heat

Vault uses a semi-solid lubricant that becomes more fluid as your bearings heat up on the road. As the temperature rises, the lubricant flows more freely around the bearings, giving you the lubrication benefits of an oil-bath while keeping everything contained inside a closed hub system.

See the System Respond as Pressure Builds

As operating temperature and pressure increase inside the hub, the attached plug at the end of the Vault cap extends outward. The closed, pressurized system helps keep water and contaminants away from your bearings, making it especially useful for trailers that see wet conditions or regular trips down the boat ramp.

Know What to Expect When Service Is Needed

Vault works differently from other grease caps with an external zerk fitting. You can't simply add lubricant through the installed cap. When lubricant service is eventually needed, the entire Vault cap must be removed to access and refill the hub. It's a messy process, but one you shouldn't need to tackle during the first five years of service.

Match the Kit to Your Axle and Hub

Vault compatibility is based on your trailer's axle weight rating and hub bore size. This kit is designed for 4,200-lb and 5,200-lb axle applications with a 2.328" hub bore. You also get two Vault assemblies, O-rings, 1 tube of Vault hybrid lubricant, an installation tool, grease fitting, and Loctite for the installation.

  • Troubleshooting a Dexter Vault Hub that Has Popped Out Slightly
    Hey Steve, thanks for the pictures. That's normal. The Dexter vault hubs popping out slightly like that shows the system is pressurized. It'll pop out all the way if there's a leak or a problem. I would check the other one though. It looks like it's leaking at the pilot hole but I don't know how long that grease has been there. I recommend wiping off the grease and seeing if it leaks out again. If it does you'll most likely want to replace that axles vault kit. We have four options based...

  • Dexter Vault Hub Service Kit Replacement Kits
    Hey Daniel, I'd be happy to help! We actually have replacement kits for the Vault style hubs, but it really depends on what you're needing to fix. Here are the kits listed out according to axle capacity: - 2.5K-3.5K # DX52UR - 4.2K-5.2K # DX23ER - 6K # DX83ER - 7K # DX73ER Do these kits seem to have what you're needing, or are you needing something else that's not included in the kits?

  • Recommended Vault Hub Kits and Replacement Options
    Hey Tracy thanks for the information. I wasn't able to get anything off of that serial number you gave me though. If you could pull one of your hubs and send me the part numbers stamped on the sides of the bearings I'll be able to track down some replacement options for you. What are you trying to replace your vault hubs with and what lug nut pattern do your wheels have? Additionally, we have replacement kits for the Vault style hubs, but it really depends on what you're needing to...

  • Dexter Vault Hybrid Lubrication System for Boat Trailer Axle
    Hey Chad, we do have Dexter Vault kits like it sounds like you are looking for but it comes down to what capacity axle you have to determine which kit you need. # DX52UR is for 2500 to 3500 lb axles # DX23ER is for 4200 to 5200 lb axles # DX83ER is for 6k axles # DX73ER is for 7k axles. Since you mentioned 1.98 inch diameter its very likely what you need is the part # DX52UR for 3,500 lb axles.

  • How Are The Dexter Vault Bearing Protectors Measured?
    Hey Shawn, thanks for reaching out. For the Trailer Buddy Vault assemblies in the # DX23ER kit, the measurement is taken at the base of the cap where is drives into the hub. The 2.328" measurement listed is the OD of the base of the cap. These are made for Trailer Buddy axles rated between 4,200 and 5,200 lbs. Sounds like they might be a bit small for your axle. For your axle, if you are measuring the hub bore at 2.4", what you'll likely need is the following: - Bearing Buddy Bearing...
