    Bearing buddy fell apart

    While pumping grease (gently) into my hub, when I went to pull the gun away from the fitting, the entire outer fitting pulled out of the bearing buddy. It seems to consist only of a spring, the blue thingy that extends a bit as you add grease, and a spring. Any advise on how these parts go...
