Location: Chicago western burbs | I have bearing buddies on my trailer. How do you determine when they are full? I would hate to add more grease if it is already where it should be. How close should the piston be towards the outer ring of the buddy? Thanks in advance. |

| all you need to do is push the plate along side of the zerk. If it gives a bit, you have enough grease...
If you over-grease to the point that grease is coming out the back seal, you'll have problems.
I have always felt that if you pull the hub apart every fall and re-pack with new seals, adding grease to the hub is a moot point. I have dunked my trailer numerous times, and I still get no water in there for th short time it's in the water..

| Also be sure you actually have the original "Bearing Buddy". There are imitations out there that are junk. These imitations also have a sticker on them similar to the Bearing Buddy decal, but the quality of the product is not the same. |
