Got a question. I have tandum axle trailer with Buddy Bearings. All of them seem find except one. It keeps slinging the grease out and I have to refill it after every trip. It fills up fine and seems to do the job other then making a mess on the rim. The others do not do this. This is not on the braking tire. What is the issue? Thanks

I have the same problem, but it doesn't sound as sever as yours. I have tracked mine down to a bad zerk fitting. It allows grease to come back out very slowly. I just haven't taken the time to pull the cap and change the zerk out.

Most likely a bad outer bearing. McGill Propeller in Lewisville will fix you up no problem.

Is it throwing the grease on the inside of the wheel or the outside? Inside= seal, outside= "O" ring on piston. Both problems "usually" are caused by overfilling with grease. When you grease, leave the piston at least a quarter inch from "full".
