Expert Reply:
For the Dexter hub part # 84545BX that you referenced the correct Bearing Buddy is the part # BB1980A-SS. Some people have a tendency to use these to put too much grease in the hub which then causes the seal to blow out. If you are careful with it though you'd have no problems at all. I attached an install video for the Bearing Buddy for you to check out as well.
