What's a good way to keep Bearing Buddies from coming off in transit...
Lately, since the bearing switch, I can't seem to keep these dang things
on
securely! Is there a trick to keep them from flying off while going down
the road?? This is my 3rd one in 3 weeks! I don't think locktight will
work since there's so much grease on the inside of the hub, and I'm just
not
sure what to do. Probably a simple solution, but nothing is coming to me
at
the time!

TIA,

Doug



I have heard that some people drill and tap the sides of the hub and put set
screws in. Not sure how comfortable I would be with that, but it sounds
like it would work. If its an old beater trailer I suppose you could
simpley wrap the sides of the hub and bearing buddy with tape.

As to the idea of locktite.... Even if you cleaned the surfaces you would
have to use the green loctite which is a bushing and sleave locker.
