Minimize grease leakage and maximize the life of your trailer's grease seals by switching to this smooth-operating system. The high-quality neoprene seals ride on consistently greased stainless steel rings for easy, free movement.
Features:
Specs:
The high-quality seal in this unique kit is made of neoprene, a flexible, synthetic rubber that remains stable even at high temperatures. Unlike typical grease seals, which wear as they ride along rough surfaces, this neoprene seal rides on a smooth, durable stainless steel ring. By using this grease seal set along with your Bearing Buddy bearing protector, you can be sure that the seal and ring always have adequate grease for fluid operation.
Note: If your axle spindles already have permanent, stainless steel surface rings, you do not need this spindle seal system.

Minimize grease leakage and maximize the life of your trailer's grease seals by switching to this smooth-operating system. The high-quality neoprene seals ride on consistently greased stainless steel rings for easy, free movement.Parts were not correct. Package had 2 different size stainless rings. Contacted 2 customer service reps, sent pics asked several questions and just received an email with little help. Disappointing
etrailer was informative and knowledgeable on product. Pricing was very good.
My old jet ski trailer was getting impossible to keep grease in wheel bearings. The Bearing Buddy spindle seal system was easy to install and looks like it should work perfectly. As you can see in pictures the spindles have significant wear and the kit fit perfectly. I expect to not be throwing grease everywhere.

Excellent. Trailer has been over many miles and very many launches. No leaks and not throwing grease anywhere
A clever product to provide a smooth surface for the bearing seal. Most boat trailers will suffer some corrosion of the spindle where the bearing seal rides. This product supplies a new seal surface that installs easily. The only modification that may be necessary is to increase the depth of the cotter pin slot in the castle nut, I had to do that to only one of my spindles. Great product!
A great fix for rusty seal seats. However the axle nut sits out farther on the shaft after installation making it difficult to install cotter pin. I ground out the groove in the castellated nut to accommodate.
The old set of seals were oozing a little so I installed a set of new bearings and stock seals purchased from my local trailer supply store. I took it for a test ride, huge hunks of grease all over the inside of my rims, a real disappointment.
Got on the web with etrailer.com, they got the 1.980 Bearing Buddy Grease Seal Set - BB60001 and the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A in a few days. It took 45 minutes to read the instructions, install the grease seals and protectors and clean-up. What a great fix! I had to make a 200 mile run that day to pick-up a classic canoe for a customer, not a speck of grease anywhere, clean, clean, clean!!!
Great product, great fix, great price and service from etraler.com.
Thanks
These grease seals are a great compliment to the Bearing Buddy lubricators. The spindle seals I had were shot and the grease pressure had pushed one of the seals completely out of the hub! The sleeve that came with the kit covered up a worn seal surface on the axle. This product saved me from having to replace the axle!
I did have have to cut deeper grooves in the spindle nut to accomodate the cotter pin. I needed to remove about 2 MM and I was able to accomplish this with a Dremel tool and cut-off wheel.

The Bearing Buddy grease seals are still working great after a year in service. I have to pull my trailer in snow and slush conditions, as well as off-road. In addition, it has to be stored outside when not in use. The grease stays in the hub, where it belongs. I would not install Bearing Buddy lubricators without these seals.
Product came as described. Item was out of stock at the time of the order so it took a long time to receive it. Communication with etrailer was excellent.

This product works great. Its the ideal solution for a worn or rough sealing surface.
These were easy to install; just follow instructions. Stopped a long-term grease seal leak on my boat trailer. Do not really understand totally how these puppies seal in the grease, but they do!
I had ordered the Bearing Buddy seals before so this time I went to etrailer.com and had the specific ones I needed for my trailer in Just minutes. I highly recommend the Bearilng Buddy Seals if you have a trailer with graseable hubs. I could not find the seals in stock locally.

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SEAL FOR A YEAR AND IT HAS WORKED PERFECTLY NO GREASE LEAKS. I HAVE 2 OTHER BOAT TRAILERS WITH LUB HUBS AND THE NEXT TIME I HAVE THE HUBS OFF THEY WILL GET THIS SEAL
The stainless axle seals and bearing seals were a breeze to install. I also as you know installed new bearings and races that I purchased from you. The entire process went very well with no problems whatsoever. I'm 75 years old and am experienced in working with cars so it may prove a little more difficult with someone that is a novice. I will, without a doubt use your services again should I need them. Great products!!!

Shipping is fast and expedited :: as one would normally expect :: I will recommend this site to any who may ask. Bless hearts and thank you.!
Very happy with my purchase, on a difficult to fit item and super service
As others have said, I'm sure satisfied with the way the seals can save an axle that has damage to the seal surface. Now I will always have a fresh surface each time I change them.
The purpose of finding this seal was solely for saving an axle that was old and a very odd, and expensive, size. So, for me, this was a very easy choice. Still in great service and pulled 2400 miles to northwest Ontario and doing great.
My sincere thanks to the staff for telling me about this type of seal. Saved me hundreds.

I still have two of the trailers the bearings, seals, and Bearing Buddies are still working great with no leaks or any problems.
I have a Trailrite trailer for my boat. I used the new seals after removing the old ones to repack the inner bearings. The spindle already had the shinny insert, but the new ones wouldn't fit over the existing spindle and the existing ones looked good. I used the brass portion with rubber seal and the spring.
When deciding to replace the bearings in my boat trailer, I was unaware that a better seal was provided when using my existing Bearing Buddies which tends to force some grease out the back side of the seal. They were very easy to install and use and so far see no signs of grease are coming out the seal after several trips to the bay.
An easy to install product that keeps grease where it should be -- in the hub and not all over the inside of your trailer wheels. It allows proper use of Bearing Buddies, and includes an inner stainless seal that repairs a damaged spindle. Excellent!
Fit my 1 inch axle perfectly. Perfect repair for a worn seal surface. Seals fit my hubs as well. Allows the bearing buddies to work correctly and not cause over filling of hubs with grease.
Nice upgrade and repair for my 1967 Little Dude trailer. Everything went together well and also installed Bearing Buddies. etrailers service is excellent as usual
Great service. These guys are the best at having the parts you need.

Everything has been great. I always look to etrailer when I need any bearings for my trailers. Great prices and service keep me coming back when I need to.
This seal assembly allowed me to run a new grease seal on a damaged axle. A great product as were the kenda 8'' wheels,and the new hubs purchased. Very helpful sales people, and quick regular delivery.
exactly what i needed. great installation instructions . thanks for the help
If you have spindles that have corroded sealing surfaces this product
will save you the trouble pulling the old spindles and replace them.
Sweet.
This item will save you from buying a axle ... Easy to instAll and put the trailer back for a long use full life again...
Great product at fantastic prices and prompt shipping. I'm very pleased.
Thanks etrailer,
