The Original Bearing Buddy caps lasted 3 times longer than the knock-off caps I had been using.
by: Drew 12/05/2023
Gotta have the real bearing buddy caps/ bras. The cheap knockoffs always end up flying off. These have been dunked in and out of some nasty boat launches, hundreds of miles on gravel roads and they’re still on.

I measured 2" OD on trailer and the Bearing Buddy Bras fitted nice and tight and look great. It was a tight fit and I am not sure I ordered the correct size but they are nice and snug.

Perfect fit to replace missing covers
by: Jerry J.03/26/2017
What can I say? They cover my bearing buddies and stay secure. Before these I would have to remove my camper wheels because there was a plastic hub that inserted from inside the wheel to cover my bearing buddies. Now I have access anytime I feel the need to add some grease.
by: Guermeister01/26/2017
The aging dual axle boat trailer I bought had Bearing Buddy brand caps on one side and some other type on the other. One of the "others" is split and the second looked as it might not last long. Other brand replacements did not seem look and feel as durable as Bearing Buddy so I ordered two. Packaged they had a disk insert to maintain shape, they fit snugly, and seem durable.
by: Terry N.06/17/2017
It was a real problem with a incorrect part shipment from etrailer , but after some two weeks of emails I received the correct part.

great !!!
by: Stephen 11/14/2022
great replacement fit perfectly
by: Dominic05/30/2019
These fit my stainless steel bearing buddies perfectly. The trick is to measure the diameter of the bearing buddy and make sure you are ordering caps made for this diameter. This is important because stainless steel bearing buddies come in two, slightly different diameters.
by: vh03/26/2017
The dust covers looked to small so I thought that I had ordered the wrong size. However, I tried one and it is a very tight fit, which is probably a good thing for a boat trailer to keep water out of the hubs. Hope I can get them off to grease the bearings.
by: George04/10/2018
The people at etrailer have always been helpful and eager to offer advice when called upon. My experience at etrailer is and has always been good, I would recommend then to anyone.
Thanks

Product is standard bearing buddy bras. The etrailer.com shopping experience is excellent!! The website is very intuitive and user friendly, the product selection is excellent, and product was promptly shipped on time! Great experience, I’ve now a regular customer going forward! Thank You!!
by: Will W. 09/13/2016
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.

JUST WHAT MY BEARING BUDDYS NEEDED.PERF ECT.
by: Chuck08/03/2015
Product knowledge was good and all products ordered were available except one,.. which was back ordered and not needed immediately, and was just received the other day.
All products fit the boat trailer just fine and Cathy from E trailer was very professional, friendly and made sure I got the correct product.
Best Regards,
Chuck

I have used these on all my trailers and ordered these for a new to me PWC double trailer. While I never use bearing buddy's, their dust covers over the metal dust cap/rubber grease cover plug is just another layer of defense in keeping water and contaminates out of your bearings and hubs. And they look nice. Cheaper here than anywhere and shipped fast!

view full answer... - Replacement 2 inch Diameter Bearing Buddy Bra RecommendationSounds like you are looking for a replacement cap or bra for your Bearing Buddy. If the outer diameter of your current bra is 2 inches you would want the part # BB17B.
view full answer... - How To Find The Right Replacement Bearing Buddy BraBearing Buddies are measured in inches. Measurements have to be as accurate as possible so when measuring the opening on a hub bore hole diameter for bearing protectors use digital calipers like part # PTW80157. Part # BB17B is 1.781 inches, and may work for you.
view full answer... - Selecting Bearing Buddy Grease Cap Covers for 2-Inch Diameter Bearing BuddyThe Replacement Bearing Buddy Bras Model 17B, part # BB17B, will fit on Bearing Buddy grease caps for hub bores from 1.781-inches to 1.810-inches. These caps will have an outer diameter of close to 2-inches. Because these bras are made of flexible vinyl they will fit multiple sizes. The next size up is part # BB19B. This bra has an outer diameter of 2-1/8-inches. I suggest part # BB17B since it will provide a more snug fit.

The outer diameter of the bra is 2-1/8 inches which means the inner diameter is approximately 2 inches.
