Provide your trailer wheel bearings with premium protection - replace your existing grease caps with Bearing Buddies. They install in seconds and provide an easy, safe way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub.
Features:
Specs:
Replace your existing grease cap with a Bearing Buddy to ensure a safe, easy way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub. To adjust the amount of grease in the hub, use a grease gun to add more through the appropriate fitting. Adding grease moves the Bearing Buddy spring-loaded piston outward 1/8".
The O-ring inside the barrel of the Bearing Buddy maintains a seal from the outside. The interior of the Bearing Buddy is pressurized, preventing water from entering the barrel and diluting the grease.
An automatic pressure-relief feature is built into the Bearing Buddy. When the device is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This prevents overfilling that can damage the inner seal.
You can manually check the grease level in your Bearing Buddy by pressing on the edge of the piston. If you can rock or move the piston, the hub is properly filled.

Provide your trailer wheel bearings with premium protection - replace your existing grease caps with Bearing Buddies. They install in seconds and provide an easy, safe way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub.Just installed them on the trailer. These are awesome! I feel much better about taking my boat to the bay with the added security of knowing I'm not going to get saltwater in my bearings.
Everything looks good.
Fast shipping fit perfectly
These are a must for a boat trailer. I have them on my other boat and they work great. I appreciate your fast service and excellent advise. I will be ordering additional items in the next few weeks.
Simply fantastic service. Adjusted my order on the fly and made sure it got to me on time, for a hassle free long-distance trip. Thank you Carol!
As for the product -- I went with 1980 SS in the end. Easy to install, load with grease. My trailer's wheels were blissfully silent across an 800 mile round trip.
(Now to return the ones I didn't need...)
The Bearing Buddie worked great. I used it on my boat trailer, installing one on each wheel, easy to regrease after using it. Would definitely recommend it .
Though I have not installed these Bearing Buddies yet, this review is about the excellent customer service I received from eTrailer. My issue was grease flying from my bearings. The folks at eTrailer explained my issue, provided the necessary tool to measure the ID of my hub and directed me to the correct Bearing Buddy for my application. I have been a long-time customer of eTrailer and will continue to be! You can't beat the service and help they provide!
I was trying to sell a boat and trailer, and when I put the buddy bearings on the trailer it was sold in two days, and the people said anyone who puts bearings on an old trailer takes care of his stuff.Thanks for the products. Terry.
These units come with the bra covers included, and they installed easily. I used a block of tropical hard wood to protect it, then I hit it on with a small sledge hammer. This is one of those quick easy jobs you can do that will have long-term implications for the useful life of your trailer. They're of good quality, and I'm proud to have it on my rig. I packed them with a waterproof green grease, because of the climate where I live. Initially I tried to order from Amazon, but they didn't ship to Hawaii, which is plain awful. Thankfully eTrailer shipped ultra-fast and for a reasonable price. Will be returning here from now on for trailer stuff.
If you do not have these on your trailer yet the question would be WHY NOT? An absolute staple for any boat trailer. Keeping your bearings in top shape is number one and this is THE product for it.
I'm extremely pleased with etrailer's service from purchase to delivery. Of course, the product, "Bearing Buddy", speaks for itself, always has been an excellent product. I will buy other items from etrailer.com as the need arises because they are competitive and service oriented.
Fit and finish excellent. Rubber caps included a real bonus.
Thanks
I wasn't sure if these would fit integral hub rims from the 50's, but sure enough, they did. They fit pretty tight, so I'm not worried about losing them, and they will save the headaches of pulling the bearings every year to re-pack them, as long as the springs have a little compression on them, I know they're good to go.
Product was as advertised and was a perfect fit. These were use to restore my fathers fishing trailer her bought in 1955 at Sears. The trailer is up an running these days to do pleasure boating in the nearby pond. Thank you.
Great product. Etrailer is always my first place to shop.
Great product and company. I found these grease buddies for my outdated boat trailer. Could not find any in my home town. Thanks etrailer.com for coming through.
Received the wrong size first. The customer service was wonderful replaced with the right size and sent shipping label to send wrong ones back it's hard to find good service now days but they did great
Haven't put them on yet,, but was easy to order and receive. If I need anything else I will be e-mailing or calling.
Everything arrived on time are all parts seem to be there so I think I'm in good shape
Found just want I needed. I have use them a couple of times and I have always been pleased with the service.
Very quick service. Parts were as expected and worked very well. Thanks!
The buddy bearing I purchased work great. Went right like it was supposed to, and won't have to go through the hassle to return it.
Great product I would order products from etrailer again
Nice bearing Buddy set, perfect
Worked perfectly Thanks
