lately almost every time I tow my trailer, I lose one of my bearing buddies. This last time on Sunday, I traveled from home near Chastain Road to Redtop and back. I made sure I did not hit any curbs on the road or ramp and lost it on the way home.
Does anyone know of a cause or cure for this?

Make sure the end of the cotter pin that holds the bearing nut on is not touching the bearing buddy. If it touches it, it will roll it right off the hub.

I had the same problem . My bearings were going bad , once I replaced them no problem . Lift the trailer up , spin the wheel . Should be smooth and quiet

Dale, clean the surfaces in the bearing hub real well and the surface on the Bearing Buddy real wel and you might even scuff those two surfaces up a little (with sandpaper). The put some thread locking compound like locktight on there and hammer the bearing buddies back on. That worked for me one time. Shucks get ya a tube of JB Weld and put on them! That stuff will glue anything together! |
