Bearing Buddy Installed Diagram

Bearing Buddy Operation

Replace your existing grease cap with a Bearing Buddy to ensure a safe, easy way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub. To adjust the amount of grease in the hub, use a grease gun to add more through the appropriate fitting. Adding grease moves the Bearing Buddy spring-loaded piston outward 1/8".


The O-ring inside the barrel of the Bearing Buddy maintains a seal from the outside. The interior of the Bearing Buddy is pressurized, preventing water from entering the barrel and diluting the grease.


An automatic pressure-relief feature is built into the Bearing Buddy. When the device is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This prevents overfilling that can damage the inner seal.

  • How To Tell When Hub Is Full Of Grease After Replacing Bearings and Grease Seals
    On a E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU74FR you will pump in Grease # L11390 with a Grease Gun # L30416 until you see it begin to push grease past the spindle nut. If you are using Bearing Buddies # BB84SR the grease will seep around piston edges and into barrel when full.

  • How to Determine Correct Bearing Buddies For Travel Trailer
    To determine which Bearing Buddies are the correct fit for your travel trailer, you need to know either the outer bearing number, or you'd need to measure the hub bores on your trailer's hubs using a digital caliper, and then match the hub bore diameter to the correct Bearing Buddies. For example, outer bearings L44643, L44649, and L44640, or a hub bore diameter of 1.980 inches would mean you need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB84SR. I've added a link below to our selection...

  • Comparing Ease Lube Spindles and Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors for Boat Trailer with 2K Axle
    The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors are great for boat trailers as they offer both easy greasing and better protection from water entering the hub. Therefore, I recommend these over easy lube spindles which will do a better job of greasing the bearings but won't be as good at keeping out water. Therefore, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs part # 20545I-ST-60-15 with Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB84SR over the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs part # e84YR. Please...
