Re: [VAC] Bearing buddies

Jim,
 Those caps are superfluous on a travel trailer. Manually packing the
wheels is good for 10-12,000 miles, and you need to remove the wheels
that often to check the brakes anyway.

Plus, you aren't really sure that you got enough grease pumped in to
fill the hub and lube the inside bearing. If you definitely DO have
enough grease in it, you're in danger of pushing grease past the seal,
where it will get on your brakes.

Forget the Bearing Buddys for your A/S.
