    How much grease in new hubs

    Hey gang, I installed the DB35 conversion on my trailer and it went as planned. My question is how much grease do i add so the bearing buddy's don't blow out the inner seal? I read that too much and it will blow the seal. Thanks in advance.

    I never add more than just enough to see the rings move out from flush.

    Bring the grease gun for the first few trips towing. As the air dissipates from the hubs, you might need to add a smidge of grease. I added grease on my Trailer Buddy's until the blue just shows. I check the inner seals when the boat is off of the trailer after the trailer dried while fishing, easier to check then.

    When they start to move, that's enough!
