Question:

Should I remove existing grease fittings before buddies installed?

If your spindles have grease fittings that means they are EZ lube spindles which means you don't need the Bearing Buddies. EZ lube spindles are actually better overall than Bearing Buddies since they deposit grease in the center of the hub and not just try to push it through the front. That said, if you want to use Bearing Buddies on a trailer with grease fittings they would have to come off since they will not fit behind the Bearing Buddy.
