When properly maintained, there are no voids inside the hub where condensation can form during winter storage. Most oil bath hubs are only half filled with and must be carefully inspected to maintain the proper level. This vacuum will draw any condensation, moisture, or impurities directly into the Bearings, which can cause premature Bearing failure.
Too much or little oil could cause problems. The Bearing Buddy bra is a vinyl cover that fits over to contain excess grease and keep it off tires wheels.
This would not be possible with an oil bath. When properly installed and maintained, Bearing Buddy prevents wheel failure eliminates repacking.
Some trailer manufacturers are offering an oil bath system as alternative to a standard Bearing protector, such Buddy. Against the grease to ensure that no water enters hub when is submerged during loading and unloading.
The Bearing Buddy automatic pressure relief feature allows excess grease to escape if hub is overfilled. If excess grease accumulates inside the bra, periodically clean it out. The Bearing Buddy bra is easily removed for checking hub lubricant level. There is no such thing as a rotating seal that stays perfect.
The hubs on a trailer can heat up during long trips and when they are dipped into cool lake water, sudden temperature change creates vacuum inside hub. Moisture stays in the hubs causing rust and pitting until they are reheated when trailer is used again.
Water and grit thus drawn into the hubs relentlessly destroy Bearings.

What they fail to recognize is that Americas highways are the perfect environment and application, as constant miles tire rotation keeps Bearings well lubricated chrome bra Bearing protectors by Buddy. Small leaks can cause the oil to escape and once this happens, Bearing failure is quick complete within a few miles. Bearing failure would occur within a few miles. With vinyl covers pair.
By comparison, oil bath hubs should be checked after every loading unloading cycle to make sure water has not penetrated and diluted. They claim that since long haul trucks use this system it must be a superior to grease packed hub. If a Bearing Buddy is knocked off, it would still be possible to run for many miles without failure. Bearing protectors, such as Buddy, make it easy to visually check the amount of grease inside packed hubs trailing, even a short distance, heats.
Many users tend to overfill, and, during travel, the excess grease can be thrown onto tires and wheels. The internal spring piston exerts about 3 PO. Boat trailers, however, operate in a completely different environment. When the wheels are submerged during launching, hubs suddenly cool and air inside unprotected contracts, forming a vacuum which draws in water through rear seals.
