E-Z Lube versus Buddy Bearings: What's the Difference?
July 13, 2019
What is the difference between E-Z Lube and Buddy Bearings? Read below to understand design differences and how to properly grease each.
E-Z Lube Bearings
E-Z Lube Bearings
Typically, axles with E-Z Lube Bearings come equipped with a metal dust cap that protects your bearings from dirt, water, and other elements. The rubberized dust plug in the center of the metal cap allows for easy access to your zerk fitting and E-Z lubrication system within the axle.
Located at the end of the axle spindle is a zerk fitting. This allows you to lubricate the inner and outer bearings by having a pathway from the zerk on the end of the axle to the inner bearing. When grease is pumped in the zerk, it is pushed through the inner pathway of the spindle to reach the inner bearing first. This causes the existing grease to be pushed toward the outer bearing and into the dust cap.
