 Topic: If you use Bearing Buddies ...Posted: 25 Jan 2015 at 8:55pm |

Or, as some call them, "Buddy Bearings", you might want to occasionally give 'em a good whack to be sure they're still seated properly (using a block of wood, of course).
I used my utility trailer today .. Got home and found I was minus one Bearing Buddy. Probably change in temps plus a gravel road. Now I get to clean (& maybe replace) & repack the bearings on that wheel. Yes, I should know better. Gosh, Dad, I just forgot! Anyway, if you use BBs, don't let this happen to you!

Bummer! Are you going to use the POD super-lubes or tear it down, clean, and repack?

Hi, Cliff. If I understand what you mean by Pod Super Lubes, that's the integrated system on the Pod . My bearing problem is on a simple utility trailer. No built-in lube system; hence the Bearing Buddies.
Am I misunderstanding what you mean by Super Lubes? I'll tear it down & inspect. Hopefully won't have to replace. Either way, I'll repack. But a new Bearing Buddy's going back on. Especially since this trailer doesn't have brakes that can get fouled. But the integrated system on the Pod? I use it. Spinning the wheel when adding the lube. And pumping carefully & slowly.

Yes, knowing that you use the after market setup on the utility trailer, or at least one...sorry, couldn't help myself.
 I was just curious to hear how or if you were going to use the "integrated system" on the POD aka Super Lube Hubs.

The short. A zerk fitting used to add grease without the full breakdown. Officially - not to be used in place of the annual full service, but some do. |
