Question:
How much grease should be added to RV bearings using buddy bearings?
asked by: Vern B
Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to add grease to a bearing buddy such as the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB1980A you will need a grease gun like part # PTW54290 and the appropriate bearing grease like part # L11390. Once you have obtained both the grease gun and grease you can fill the bearing buddy.
An automatic pressure-relief feature is built into the Bearing Buddy. When the device is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This prevents overfilling that can damage the inner seal.
I have attached a video that will show this process for you as well.
