Bearing Buddies Needed for Al-KO 7200 lb Hubs  

Question:

I have AL-KO 7200 on the drum, What bearing buddy an I use on a 2 5/16inch dust cover? Does the inner seal need to be replaced? If so what is the part number? Is there a chrome cap to use with a bearing buddy to replace the center metal cap?

Expert Reply:

To determine which Bearing Buddy you need, you'll either need to measure the hub bore (inside diameter of hub where grease cap inserts) or provide me with the outer wheel bearing reference number. With the bearing number, I can find the corresponding race for the bearing. The race's outside diameter will match the diameter of bearing protector you'll need.

I would recommend replacing the grease seal as well. Use a double lip seal to help prevent blow-out. To determine which seal you'll need, I'll need to know the hub bore diameter where the seal sits and the diameter of the surface of the spindle where the seal rides. These measurements need to be precise, so using a digital caliper is recommended.
