Can Bearing Buddies be used on Axles With Brakes
Updated 01/02/2019 | Published 12/31/2018
Question:
I was told bearing buddies are not good for rv trailer axles with brakes because the grease can get on the brakes. What are your thoughts. Thanks

You can use Bearing Buddies such as # BB1980A-SS on your trailer with brakes you just need to make sure you don't overfill them because if grease gets on brake pads the pads will need to be replaced.
So as long as you are sure you aren't using too much grease you will be fine; there are those that have a blue indicator ring that allows you to monitor the level of grease which is helpful. So the short answer is yes, you can use Bearing Buddies on trailers that have brakes you just need to make sure you apply the proper amount of grease.
I have added a link to a page with our selection of Bearing Buddies for you to check out.
