I finally decided to retire my leaking 35 YO Bearing Buddy bearing protectors. Got a pair of 1.98 D units by Tie Down Engineering at West (would have bought Bearing Buddy, but they didn't have them).
Anyways, not much user info in the package. Unlike my old Bearing Buddy units, these have small holes in the housing - that open to let out grease when the compression plate moves out a bit. I'm assuming these holes are to prevent over-filling. And, the operating procedure would be to stop pumping grease in as soon as grease starts to exit from the hole.
Do I have it right?
Are these Tie Down units any good, or, did I buy pieces of crap? I'm saving the old BB's just in case.
