Check yer bearings

[wiperhunter2]

Curtis, "Last year, I decided it was time to replace my bearings, because the last time they were replaced was in October 2014."

I first installed two trailer bearing kits and two new bearing buddies (the part the grease goes in) (used my old bras).  I lost both bearing buddies and of course the bras.  I tried two more Bearing Buddies and lost both of them.  Took off the new bearing kits and installed two new hub kits.  Lost one Bearing Buddies and replaced it.  Lost and replaced one of the bras.  Haven't lost anything else since March, of this year, and so hopefully I am good to go for several more years.

What a pain to lose that many of them but 6 years without any noticeable problem with the bearings is good, guess that shows the bearing buddies do work. I've been taking mine apart every other year but it sounds like I could wait longer between tear downs. Thanks for the info.
