Bearing Buddy cups do not belong on wheels with brake shoes. Any pressure on the grease (and hot grease expands) will eventually push grease past the grease seal and into the brake hub. I even have the EZ lube axles from the manufacturer and never use them for that reason. Axle manufacturers recommend removing the bearings, clean and inspect, every 12 months or 12,000 miles. I've done that every year/12k miles and have never found a dry bearing (lacking grease).
