Converting an oil bath hub to grease couldn't be simpler. Just drain the oil, clean and inspect the bearings and races and pack the bearings with a good quality grease like the LMX # L11390.
The # 168255TB seal you mentioned is typically used by 3700 lb marine hubs which use a # L68149 and # L44649 bearing and a # L68110 and # L44610 race. We offer the replacement races, seals and bearings if you need them.
