Question:
I am reinstalling your boat buddy product after installing new brakes, seals and wheel cylinders, and bearings packed.My question is:Is the whole drum bearing cavity supposed to be filled thru the bearing buddy, or just the bearing buddy? I watched the video, but my question still lingers.I hope my question makes sense to you?Thanks,

Expert Reply:
You will want to pack the bearings with grease as you are reinstalling the trailer hubs. Check out the video I attached to see how this is done. The bearing buddies are a great way to make sure the assemblies are topped off with grease, but you still want to pack them initially.
