The "repair" remark bothered me. You're basically just lubing ball bearings, a repair would be to replace them to my mind. Maybe if you called it a temporary fix? Also, if "wheels grinding on axels like forgotten gears" was actually happening, it would mean your bearings had seized up and the inside part of the bearing housing would have become loose against the axle with only the end screw holding it on. Just oiling the bearings would not have kept the bearing housing from spinning, the wheel/bearing housing would continue to be kept on by the end washer and nut. It is also questionable that if the bearing had seized to enough degree to cause the housing to spin on the axle that simply oiling/greasing them would suffice to free them up. Most likely you would need to replace the wheel and probably the truck as the axle has been shaved down by the wheel, and even with a new wheel the housing would continue to spin.
