Can I Use Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors With an Easy Lube Spindle
Updated 11/10/2010 | Published 11/09/2010
Question:
When installing a bearing buddy on a easy lube spindle that already has a grease fitting in the end of the spindle do I need to remove this grease fitting before installing the bearing buddy. Wont this inner grease zerk keep the bearing buddy from lubing properly. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Easy lube spindles are not compatible with Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors. You could use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors if you remove the zerk fitting. You really do not need Bearing Buddies though. The whole purpose of Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors is so that you do not have to remove the grease cap.
I have linked a video review of the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors.
