How to Pick Out Replacement Dust Caps for a Trailer that Previously Had Bearing Buddies
Question:
I have a 2005 Yacht Club Trailer and Im replacing bearings and instead of bearing buddys I want to buy a set of dust caps. Measuring with a ruler I get 1 7/8inch or bearing buddy size 1.980. what size dust caps do i need to order? Thanks, p.s. LOVE the roller bunks we bought last year. Made loading and unloading so much easier. -

Expert Reply:
If the bore you measured on your hub measures 1.980 inches then the correct cap would be to use the RG04-020. You will need to use a more exact measuring device than a ruler though like the caliper part # PTW80157 since it has to be an exact fit.
Once you have an exact dimension check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the grease caps we offer. The filters will allow you to select the correct caps.
