The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors, # BB1968SS, are designed to keep grease from exiting and water and dirt from entering. These bearing protectors come with an automatic pressure-relief feature to prevent overfilling. The grease will seep around the piston and into the barrel when it is full. You should not add additional grease once the Bearing Buddy is full to prevent the seal from blowing out.

I would also recommend using the Bearing Buddy Grease Seal Set, # BB60002. These seals use a stainless steel ring and O-ring minimizing wear and tear and providing a better seal.
