Bearing Buddy Spindle Seal Kit installation

[ktbarrentine]

Anyone have experience installing/using the stainless steel spindle sleeves produced by Bearing Buddy? Their website claims that the kit included service and installation instructions, but my kit did not include this, and I have not been able to contact the company for further instructions. The kit simply had a diagram showing the parts and what I assume to be an order of installation. Just wondering what the experiences are with these, as they look promising and I intend on using them in conjunction with Bearing Buddy 1980A SS caps.

Is this what we are talking about?

Exactly. As you can see in the link, it states that service and installation instructions are included, but, alas, they are not. I installed the kit just as the diagram shows and I hope that is correct. They seem to be working satisfactorily; I intend on doing several short distance trials, then rechecking the seals to see if they are doing as advertised, before heading to ramp-trials and then doing more checks there.

I have no experience with these, but it kind of looks like a no brainer.
Put 'em on, and they work!
