    Buddy bearing cap is designed to keep grease in the hub. Hybrid Vault grease turns to a heavy oil when heated. I don't believe the Buddy bearing cap is sealed well enough to keep the oil in.

    I wonder what the difference between the o-rings in the Vault bearing protectors and the Trailer Buddy protectors. If the pics in the brochures are to scale, it appears that the Vault o-rings are thicker. Maybe Dennis can chime in.........will the Trailer Buddy bearing protector hold the Vault Hybrid Oil?

    My Vault cap has no O ring. Its a tension fit into the hub.
