Should Bearing Buddy Actually Move When Adding Grease to Know when to Stop

Question:

I have a 2017 Time Out Dart trailer and I have pulled it for almost 10,000 miles. Neither piston on either wheel moves in or our, left or right. I have only put a couple of shots of grease into the Bearing Buddy. Should I put in more grease and will that release the piston? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

It's actually very easy to over fill trailer hubs with grease with Bearing Buddies so I would not recommend continuing to add grease with yours as you'll most likely blow out the seal and cause bigger problems. If you've added a couple shots already I would either leave it as-is or pull the hub and repack it by hand.
