Bras keep popping off

[Chris611]

This post won't be as exciting as the subject line may indicate . Anyhow, one of the 4 bras for my bearing buddies keeps popping off about 5 minutes after I park the trailer. What is causing this? Do the bras wear out or is there some sort of heat build up? any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Chris

When you install the bras use one finger or thumb right in the middle to push them on. The center of the bra will be concave due to a slight vacuum. If you just slide them on they trap air and as a result, there is a positive pressure inside so they pop off.

I push in the center as well to make a vacuum and I also put a strip of duct tape collaring the edge to make the cap tighter.

Secure each bra with a radiator hose clamp. Then you don't have to worry about any negative or positive air pressure in the hub from cooling/heating. And it needs positive pressure to maintain its effect.
