Can Bearing Buddy Grease Seal Sets Be Used With BTR EZ Lube Spindles?

Question:

Can I use Bearing Buddy spindle seal with stainless ring on an EZ-Lube spindle? Seams like if I pump grease through the Zerk fitting in the end, it will push grease outside of the seal because the stainless ring covers the hole by the seal.

Since the Bearing Buddy Grease Seal Set # BB60005 will direct grease outside the hub you will not be able to use the EZ-Lube spindle. Instead you will need to use a set of the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS to fill your hubs with grease. You will need to remove the grease zerk on the end of the spindle before installing the Bearing Buddy caps.
