Question:
I noticed that when looking at ez lube caps bearing buddy caps come up as premium parts and wondering why? They push grease in opposite directions. ?????

Expert Reply:
The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like part # BB1781 will only work for standard spindles, not those with grease fittings in the end which are also known as EZ-Lube. They both are designed to provide easy lubrication to the bearings without having to pull apart the hub. If you have EZ-Lube hubs you'll have to use grease caps, preferably ones that have an easy to remove center section like the Grease Caps part # RG04-040.
