Yeah, i am confused too.

You wanting to rebuild the Bearing Buddy? I have never heard of doing that. You can buy a new set for $30. And they can be replaced with out taking the hub apart. Just pop them out and pop the new one in and shoot some grease in, you will be good to go. Takes about 2 minutes per wheel...

Like was said earlier, if you are throwing grease out on the outer wheel, replace your bearing buddy. If you are throwing grease out on the inner wheel you inner seal is bad, and you should replace that, and while you are there you should rebuild the whole hub (meaning replace the two races, the two bearings, the inner seal, and repack with grease). You can buy a set of bearings, races, seal, new cotter pin, all for $20. You need two sets if you are doing both wheels.


Just did it all yesterday on one hub. Was changing the tire out and noticed it had a wiggle. Opened it up and sure enough inner bearing was in pieces.

Simple job. Hardest part is banging out the races and putting the new ones in (which you can skip and use the old ones, but I have always been told while you are there might as well replace them), but as stated earlier, it is nasty job...

Then had to replace a bearing buddy on our other trailer cause it was leaking and slinging grease everywhere...

and X2 on the don't overfill your bearing buddys, that is what blows the seal out. Some have a indicator and some have a relief whole that grease comes out when full, but as stated above just make sure the spring is not bottomed out...

Good luck-hope you get it sorted out....
