Anyone have buddy bearings on their boat trailers?  It seems like mine wont take any grease.  Its damn near impossible to pump it in

No.  everyone knows that those are junk and you need to change it to oil bath.

Why are they so much better?

oil is better than grease

they are sealed better

you can visually inspect the bearing

the bearing runs in oil

better bearing life

cooler bearing temps

when oil becomes milky it mean you have got water.  time for seals/bearing

$200/axel for new everything if you do it yourself.

 

$100 per tire usually.

no need to change them until your old bearing need replacing.
