Radnine Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi all, Hey, are those “Bearing Buddies” things worth the price? I think that they’re around $20 each, should I have them thrown on before I pick my boat up? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 They are worth much more! They keep a positive pressure on your bearing area...thus water stays out when backed into the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 They've not failed me in the past 15 to 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes- what Wayne said. Also when greasing don't pump grease into them once the plate reaches the outside contact point. I have seen where guys pump in too much and push out the seal at the other end. Great little device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Remember my "how too" remove them post Mike? Spring loaded plunger grease fittings... to keep your hubs full of grease and void of water? http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...bearing+buddies Edited March 17, 2008 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Pike Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks Wayne I will be putting them on my new boat trailer. I blew a bearing and a Hub in November on my SSV trailer . I just learned the hard way and will be maintaining my bearings from now on. First will be the 4 wheels on my tent trailer this spring. Thanks again .Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
