Does Grease Get to Inner and Outer Bearings Well with Bearing Buddy
Updated 07/08/2019 | Published 07/06/2019
Question:
Just wondering how grease gets past the spindle nut, spindle washer, bearing, and race to properly lube both inner and outer bearings? This would be done through a Bearing Buddy. Will grease reach the inner bearings okay? Thanks!

It's actually not the wisest idea to try and get all new grease in a hub using Bearing Buddies like the part # BB1980A-SS that you referenced. The old grease has to go somewhere so what ends up happening is that the hub ends up over filled with grease and the grease seal ends up blowing out. It's best to repack by hand.
I attached a video on this for you to check out as well.
