Bearing buddy
,January 9, 2012
By Graybeard
from Jersey Shore
"These really do the job of protecting your trailer wheel bearings. I have used these on trailers that I have owned for years. I regularly dunk my boat trailer in salt water, I add grease after each use and remove bearing buddies at end of season to inspect bearings. Before I got these I used to replace bearings each year, now I get at lease 5 years life on bearings. Also recommend you get the "bra" to prevent grease from getting on the rims and tires"

"My boat trailer was wearing bearings out regularly before I started using these bearing buddies. Just hit them with a grease gun and forget it. The spring loaded mechanism keeps pressure on the grease so it keeps water and dirt out. Great product, I would recommend to a friend."

By jasyou1616
from Conyers, Georgia
"This is a bearing protector for anyone using a trailer to carry a boat,utility trailer, motorcycle trailer, any small trailer that is used outside or comes in contact with water or a dirty environment. This bearing protector is not just a plain bearing cap like comes on the trailers, but is spring loaded with grease keeping bearing greased all the time. As old grease disapates, new grease is automatically squeezed into bearing by this bearing buddy, without you doing a thing."
