    Bearing Buddies

    I have an older Customline trailer and want to put Bearing Buddies on it. I have had trailers that had them and really like the maintenance aspect of them. It appears that they just screw into place, is this correct? Are there any issues with these other than not over-greasing them and blowing out the seals? Also, should I put anti-seize on the threads?

    Thanks

    They are pressed in, just like the dust caps on most hubs.

    I like the Red Eyes better. It is much easier to see if the grease gets low.

    You still have to get greese to the inner bearing with the bearing buddies. I found out the hard way on the side of the road.
