Before it's filled with grease, the spring loaded piston is recessed by about 5/8 of an inch inward from the outside edge of the Bearing Buddy. This distance will decrease as grease is added. The top of the zerk fitting is located 1/4 inch from the outer edge of the Bearing Buddy.

I've showed these dimensions in the provided photo.
