The short. A zerk fitting used to add grease without the full breakdown.

Yes, knowing that you use the after market setup on the utility trailer, or at least one...sorry, couldn't help myself. Big smile I was just curious to hear how or if you were going to use the "integrated system" on the POD aka Super Lube Hubs. ]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2015 22:16:39 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5736&PID=56022#56022 If you use Bearing Buddies ... : Hi, Cliff.

Hi, Cliff.  If I understand what you mean by Pod Super Lubes, that's the integrated system on the Pod . My bearing problem is on a simple utility trailer.  No built-in lube system; hence the Bearing Buddies.

Am I misunderstanding what you mean by Super Lubes?

I'll tear it down & inspect.  Hopefully won't have to replace.  Either way, I'll repack.  But a new Bearing Buddy's going back on.  Especially since this trailer doesn't have brakes that can get fouled.

But the integrated system on the Pod?  I use it.  Spinning the wheel when adding the lube.  And pumping carefully & slowly.

Bummer! Are you going to use the POD super-lubes or tear it down, clean, and repack?]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:36:14 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5736&PID=56018#56018 If you use Bearing Buddies ... : Or, as some call them, "Buddy... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5736&PID=56014#56014 Author: Luv2Q

Or, as some call them, "Buddy Bearings", you might want to occasionally give 'em a good whack to be sure they're still seated properly (using a block of wood, of course).

I used my utility trailer today .. Got home and found I was minus one Bearing Buddy.  Probably change in temps plus a gravel road.  Now I get to clean (& maybe replace) & repack the bearings on that wheel.

Yes, I should know better.  Gosh, Dad, I just forgot!

Anyway, if you use BBs, don't let this happen to you!
