Re: bearing buddy caps
DUDE, WHAT I DID IS CHEEP-EASY-AND REALLY HELPS TO KEEP THE WATER OUT---(1ST),WITH GUN ADD SOME GREASE (2ND) WIPE OFF EXCESS GREASE (3ED) WITH A CLEAN RAG WIPE OFF AND MAKE SURE THE CROME HUB IS CLEAN (4TH) WITH CLEAN RAG,WIPE OUT AND MAKE SURE THE INSIDE OF RUBBER CAP IS CLEAN (5TH)INSTALL RUBBER CAP.WHEN YOU INSTALL THE RUBBER CAP IT SHOULD BE CLEAN DRY CROMEAND CLEAN DRY RUBBER.AND NOW HERES THE TRICK---GET YOURSELF A BLACK TIERAP LONG ENOUGH TO GO AROUND THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF THE RUBBER CAP,AND NOW USE THAT TIERAP AND LAST,TRIM THAT TIERAP.*HINT* DONT PULL TIERAP TO TIGHT.SLIGHT PRESSURE FROM THE TIERAP,AND THE CLEAN DRY SURFACES WILL KEEP THE WATER OUT.ONE MORE *HINT* EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE MOW ABLE TO KEEP YOUR CAPS ON AND WATER OUT,YOU CANT STOP CONDINSATE DUE TO THE HEATING AND COOLING OF THE BEARINGS AND GREASE.BECAUSE THE TIERAP IS PULLED TO APPLY ONLY SLIGHT PREASURE,YOU CAN PULL THE CAPS OFF AFTER YOUR TRIP,AND AFTER THINGS RETURN TO AMBEANT TEMP.AND INSIDE THE CAP YOU WILL SEE THE CONDINSATE THAT HAS COLLECTED.WIPE IT OUT.
