Are CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assemblies CE13515 Compatible With Bearing Buddies?
Question:
I am installing these hubs on my raft trailer. The trailer has an idler axle without brakes or an EZ lube system. In the past, I installed Bearing Buddies as a way to keep it greased and prevent water from seeping into the axle. Would Bearing Buddies be compatible and beneficial in this application?
