Thread: Bearing Buddy?

had mine on for 12 years and have never had one come off. three sizes, you must have the wrong size.

I had a mechanic shop put the 1st 2 sets on for me. I'm hoping that's it(wrong size) but now this is going to be a different mechanic this coming time.

Why can't you do it yourself. They just tap on.

There is a recent post in the mechanics corner about the same issue of them coming off.

I had them on , too. They want stay on, I took mine back off. Luckily Mine came off in the drive way both times and I found them later. Later I put them on my john boat trailer, now, they have come off it, too.

You can put too much grease pressure on them. As soon as the spring starts moving, you should stop adding grease. The first ones that I got, I put too much pressure on them and I lost one.

Read the other recent post about bearing buddies. They had several fixes it. It was posted by Rees Guide on 3/5 in the mechanic corner boats, motors and trailers.

TO MUCH GREASE popped mine off == 2 much grease= you don't need to grease um to often
when the spring goes down put 2=3 pumps in it and stop = watch the spring and don't let it get over 1/3
way out
