When Using Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Do I Need To Repack Bearings Periodically?
Question:
Does having a Bearing Buddy installed negate the need to take apart the wheel hub and repack the bearings with fresh grease periodically?
asked by: Jesse
Expert Reply:
When you use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like # BB2441, so you do not need to take apart the wheel hub and repack the bearings. The Bearing Buddy Protectors have a spring loaded seal that keeps the moisture and debris out of the bearings. This pressurized grease will maintain bearing function as long as the seal on the hub stays functional. If this seal is broken, I recommend inspecting and repacking good bearings when you replace the seal. As you maintain the grease in the Bearing Buddy, it continues to fill the bore, so your bearings and spindle stay properly lubricated for proper function.
