Threaded Bearing Buddy Recommendation for Oil Bath Hub with Outer Bearing L44649

Question

Question:

I am going to convert my oil bath bearing system on my EZLoader boat trailer to grease. Im done with oil. I have not taken any measurements so I have none to provide, but the outer bearing is L44649. I have a bad back and I live in Alaska its cold, or I would just take them back apart and take measurements and tread count. Based on trailer type 5 lug EZLoader and the bearing is it possible to know if item BB2080T-SS Model # 2080T-SS will fit the wheel on my trailer?

Most likely you'd need the part # BB1980T-SS as this it the kit commonly used for hubs that have outer and inner bearings of L44649. Since we don't know your inner bearing or hub bore diameter it's hard to say for sure but most likely this is correct.
