Bearing Buddy Rubbers

[Dennis Graham]

The little rubber covers on my Bearing Buddies have dried out in the hot sun and are now cracked. So, they have started throwing some grease. I used some glue the last time to seal the cracks but every time I regrease the crack opens up. Is there any place I can order just the little rubber cover?

so those are called 'rubbers'. the bearing buddie covers are called 'bras'. who comes up with the names for this stuff anyways?



might check out your tracker dealer (the one here in okc keeps them in stock) or other marine or boat stores as i've found a few places here which have them. might call or email Craig at BPS as he should be able to get them also.

Hey Thanks Jim B.,

I was wondering where I'd find those rubbers. Mine are spraying grease already and their only a year old. Jim M.

Just make sure you are not overfilling your hubs.....they have an overflow hole that throws grease when you do.

I got some at Bass Pro in the parts department. Another trick is after you grease, wipe out a little bit of the excess that's only in the cap. Then "burp" the air out of the hub when you put the little rubber piece back in. I had a problem of slinging grease and what would happen is that the hub warms up, the grease and air in there expands, pushing the little rubber piece out a little, causing grease to get out and allowing water to get in. I just push that center piece in while using a screwdriver at the edge to allow the air to escape. No problems since.
