My Venture trailer just had bearing buddy's put on. I lost
one on the very first trip out, replaced it and lost another
on the same wheel the next time out. The other one stays good
and secure. I really had to pound this in, so I'm suprised it
came out. And this was on a trip less than 10 miles and no
more than 50mph, 30 or so most of it. Any clues why? Also, I
saw where some folks use Locktite (Permatex) to secure these.
I'd like to do this just to stop losing them, but this seems
extreme and not fixing the real problem. Any thoughts there?

Thanks.

Its supposed to be a press fit, but if you really had to pound it in,
then you either have a set of mismatched hubs (which is possible, but
unlikely), your hub is out of round or you have a pair of mismatched
BB - which is also possible, but unlikely.

In all my years of trailering boats, I have never had a BB ever pop
out on me - ever.

You don't want to use any sort of glue or sealant.

Of the options available to you, I would have the suspect hub checked
for round or possibly a different ID than the other one.

Good luck.

Later,

Tom
