[QUOTE="russ010, post: 293491, member: 677"] I've learned long ago to stick with actual Bearing Buddy brand. I bought some of the Bill Dance bearing buddies for my last boat. Got to the ramp, unloaded and thought all was well. When we got back to the ramp to load the boat, one of the guys was looking at my rebuild and noticed that the bearing knock-off bearing buddies were broken off -- and it was broken off inside the hub. I replaced those with a set from Harbor Freight just until my actual Bearing Buddies arrived the mail. Apparently they were damaged or something. I drove to the lake and when I got their I noticed a funny smell and checked the hubs - hot as a firecracker and soaked in grease. Took the buddies off there and there was no grease inside. Ended up having to get 2 new hubs because of the damage that was already done. Just keep a check on the grease. Hopefully they will work great for you [/QUOTE]
