Question:
On the initial install. Do you fill until grease comes from the edges ?

Expert Reply:
In regards to installing the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB1781, you will need to fill them with grease until the grease starts to seep out of the seal around the piston (see photo). You should see the piston extend out past the Bearing Buddy label when it's properly filled. It has an automatic pressure-relief feature so you don't need to worry about blowing out the grease seals.
I have attached a review video which talks about this process as well.
