As advertised good for power train

Very satisfied. If you insert it straight in and tap gently with a hammer and a piece of wood like they recommend, it should be easy. It's a nice tight fit. I've driven my trailer back and forth across Florida with no problems. Satisfied.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Frequency

Reliable product but check sleeve size. Use calipers.

They appear to be well made, but you need to use calipers to check the size. Too small for just one scotch so I can't use them. I didn't dare send them back. Delivery not allowed

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some issues

works well in part

no grease spills have used this product on my first boat trailer and all the trailers i have had since 1970 never had a problem with any of them and never burned out. Curb bearing works well with on-trailer braking as long as you don't try to spill the cup. Purchased 16 work trailer kits in the last 50 years.

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • there are nuances

A bumpy highway may cause this model to fall!

Bought these to replace some 15 year old Bearing Buddies. Halfway through a 110-mile trip this weekend, one of them fell off. I was very disappointed! I've repackaged my old boat trailer hubs over a dozen times so I'm pretty good at installing them. Those were the cheapest models. I bought some new ones from O'Reilly, the chrome model. "Original" Both stayed on the way back.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Can't remember

Installation was easy.

I've read several reviews of other brands of cups and found the ease of installation difficult. The hardest part of the install was getting the old dust caps off and it wasn't difficult. Using a 2x4 block of wood and a hammer, being careful to hammer them square and not at an angle, they stood upright. the trailer is great. The real test will be after I drive them a few miles. The only complaint I have is that when overfilling the reservoir, the grease spurted out through the spring-loaded…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Functionality
