To swap over to oil bath you can just swap out the bearings, grease seal, and caps but I'll need a bit more info in order to determine the correct fit for your setup. If you don't need to trailer for a bit you can remove one of the hubs and check the face of the outer bearing for the part number. You can then look at the grease seal for it's part number and pop it out to check the inner bearing. Once we have these part numbers we can determine the correct replacements.
If the part numbers have worn off of the bearings and seals then you'll need to measure the spindle and hub using the chart below to determine the inner and outer diameters for each component to determine what their part number is. You'll also want to measure cap opening on the hub to determine if the # XLPROLUBE2440 (2.44" diameter opening) will fit.
All grease will need to be thoroughly cleaned out of your hub and off of the spindle before installing new seals and bearings.
