[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 109620, member: 774"] the bearing buddys are just a glorified dust cap w/ a spring to keep pressure on the grease and a nipple to filler up. you can find them on the internet for pretty cheap (less than 20), or the parts store where you'll be getting your bearings may have some or be able to order them. i'd get some since your rebuilding the hubs anyways when you take those bearings out clean the grease off. check for pitting or shiny flakes on the rollers of the bearing. the pitting will usually tell you the degree of wear, and the shiny is usually a result of over heating dont forget the new seals and races, let us know how she turns out [/QUOTE]
