Question:
I have a micro minnie TT by winniebago. Does installing bearing buddy allow me to grease both inner and outter bearing from the connector outside? Ive attached a pic of the wheel if that helps. How do I know which model bearing buddy to get?

Expert Reply:
Bearing Buddies will push grease through the outer bearing and hopefully into the inner bearing but honestly they aren't my favorite option. Typically people will over fill their hubs when using these and that eventually blows out the grease seal. Your best solution is once a season repack the bearings by hand with high quality grease like the LMX Red # L11390.
I attached a review video that covers packing bearings for you to check out as well.
