How long do bearing buddies last?
The axle hub is filled with grease until the grease forces the Bearing Buddy® piston outward about 1/8 inch. Because the piston is spring-loaded, the piston exerts a slight (3 PSI) pressure against the grease, which maintains a slight pressure between the inside of the hub and the outside environment.

What is the bearing Buddy® bra?
The Bearing Buddy® Bra is a vinyl cover that fits over the Bearing Buddy® to contain excess grease and keep it off tires and wheels. The Bearing Buddy® automatic pressure relief feature allows excess grease to escape if the hub is overfilled. Many users tend to overfill, and, during travel, the excess grease can be thrown onto tires and wheels.

Will the bearing Buddy caps fit on my bearing Buddy?
When you purchase the caps for the bearing buddies, be careful to make sure the cap is appropriate for your model of bearing buddy. As long as you do this, you will be fine, and the cap will fit tightly on the bearing buddy. I learned this the hard way by ordering caps that were just a bit too lose, and the caps kept falling off.
