Question:
Hello, Im interested in a Buddy Bearing spindle kit. I am having trouble w/a boat trailer wheel seal spitting grease especially after greasing the buddy bearing. I had the bearings repacked and it may be that the correct spindle kit was not used. I am using Napa seal 17144. What would the correct kit be for that seal. Thank you for your assistance. Have a great and Blessed day, Carlton...

I do see the NAPA seal 17144 matches the dimensions of the Grease Seal # 58846. Since you are using a Bearing Buddy you are going to want to use one of their seal sets. The seal this size is typically in combination with a Inner Bearing # L68149 which will use the Seal Set # BB60002. This seal set is designed to be used in combination with a Bearing Buddy as it is capable of holding the pressure it creates.
