Recommended Bearing Buddy Kit for Carry-On 5X8G Trailer
Question:
I have a Carry-On 5X8G trailer and want to get these bearing buddy so that I can see wear and know I have a decent level of protection. Other then measuring any idea what the 2017 version of this model uses for bearing?

Expert Reply:
Based on my research, your Carry-On 5X8G Trailer uses hubs that have a 1.98 inch diameter pilot hole. With this in mind, the correct Bearing Buddy Kit will be one that fits 1.98 inch hub bores like the part # BB1980A-SS. These will replace the grease cap in the axle hub and prevent wheel-bearing failure by keeping water and dirt out. They will also provide easily accessible grease fittings and makes adding grease to the bearings quick and simple. I have included a short installation video that you can use for reference.
I do still recommend verifying this measurement on your trailer by using a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the pilot hole diameter.
