- Made in USA
Specs:
- Application: trailer spindles with LM48548 or L68149 inner bearing and Bearing Buddy models with 1.980", 1.968" or 2.562" hub bore
- Grease seal dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 1.875"
- Outer diameter: 2.560"
- Seal ring dimensions:
- Inner diameter: 1.377"
- Outer diameter: 1.875"

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.

I always use High Quality Bearing Buddy Spindle seals every spring when re-packing the wheel bearings on my Cougar 5th wheel RV.

Great service fast shipping great video on how to install
by: Christopher 11/09/2023
I always use these on my boat trailers. Instructions are little vague, but that's because the install is so simple.

My order had grease seals that were not available, and definitely held up the order for a bit. All good though. I'm in a rush to get this camper ready, and will not blame it on anyone. I could have ordered them earlier on this winter. etrailer is the best, and I tell my trailer hauling co-workers about my orders. One of the best parts of these orders is that you can click on your email reply (among other places) that says manage order. Then you have videos available showing how to install your parts. Nice! I knew what I was doing, but the races seals caps video showed how the caps were shipped backwards in the assembly. The video took the confusion out of it all. Thank you bearded guy in the video, "Trailer Bearings Races Seals and Caps Rebuild". Your the best.
You wanted a reply, and I gave it. There's no login to an account to keep track of orders, or to have a way to keep track of my projects though. I don't have a business, but I do have multiple projects as a part time thing that is/will be on-going. Am I missing something?

Had a problem with a axle that had damage from a bearing gone bad which damaged where the seal rides. The seal kit fixed the problem.
by: Jeremy A.02/24/2016
Trying to find the right parts was exhausting, going to auto parts store after store. Should've came here first and saved lots of frustration and time. It worked great and was just what I needed to get my bearings and Buddys back on. I'm back on the road with my 1985 Boat trailer.

Looks good, all I need to do is the ins tall.
by: Jeff P.09/03/2014
The addition of the metal ring keeps the hub seated slightly further out on the spindle. This caused me to have to really crank down on the crown nut, just to be able to get the cotter pin in. Of course this kept the wheel from spinning freely, and surely would have fried the bearings.
I tore it out and replaced it with the normal seals.
Don't bother with these. The double-lip seals that come with the e-trailer bearing kits are just fine.
by: Steve10/09/2022
This is the only seal kit listed for LM48548 or L68149 bearings and the three sizes of bearing buddies, but etrailer doesn't note that there are at least two different axle sizes that use those bearings and bearing buddies. I missed the axle size listing buried in the specs, then inserted one seal into the hub before seeing that it was the wrong size for the axle, couldn't return the kit after ruining the seal getting it out of the hub. Shame on me for not reading all the details. Shame on etrailer for not noting that there are different axles applicable.
by: Mitchel08/23/2023
Great for those damaged axles and also works for marine use.
by: Kelvin09/23/2016
My boat trailer axle spindle was damaged seriously on one trip. With this spindle seal, it just work for me. I don't need to replace my axle. And it works great.

This Bearing Buddy seal kit is a great concept on paper. This kit may work well on highway only applications. I used this kit on a boat trailer application and it was a disaster. The first problem encountered is this kit eliminates the best feature of a E-Z Lube 3500# trailer axle. That feature is the ability to pump grease into the hub without any disassembly. The second shortcoming of this design is the entire inner seal assembly is centered and retained by a tiny single O-ring. The trailer this kit was installed on has disc brakes. After one road trip the O-rings shrunk /cracked causing the inner seal race to loose contact with the axle. This caused the grease to leak out all over the rotors and calipers. That is not worst part. It was later determined that the seal kit did not even last long enough on the first trip to function as described. Upon teardown of all four hubs it was clear the hubs flooded with water at the first launching of the boat. Between the mess made on the trailer brake hardware and the water soaked hubs I can not recommend this seal kit for boat trailer applications.
by: Marc05/17/2021
I was skeptical, I’ve tried many things to get my axle seals from leaking (my axles are worn and actually need to be replaced. But replacing boat axles is easier said than done) and for the last seven years they’ve leaked and I’ve repacked and replaced my bearings every year. Last year I replaced the axle seal with these Buddy bearing seal kit.
To my surprise, I had no water in my 4 hubs this spring from last year. I definitely recommend them.
Of course I had to add the stainless Buddy Bearing hubs covers as well...
by: Terry F.07/31/2018
My galvanized boat trailer was made 34 years ago. Thru the years my stockpile of hub grease seals had become exhausted. I contacted the original manufacture's parts department, who were very helpful, but couldn't come up with my seal. They didn't recognize their old kit number from 34 years ago. I tied local stores for seals in my area to no avail. I then went online and found etrailer.com. They had the Buddy Bearing Seal Set #BB60002 which was exactly what I needed and like what I bought from the original manufacture 34 years ago. I will be going to etrailer.com for all my trailer needs.
by: Sean05/17/2020
Bearing buddy spindle sleeve savers were easy to install and should work great. I should have purchased the seal removal tool to get the old seal out, but even without, I was able to replace the inner seals in less than an hour. We'll see how long they last. Extremely satisfied with etrailer customer service. One part was missing from the package and they sent me a replacement quickly.
by: JamesM05/27/2017
Used on 1976 Ranger trailer went on great and used same slots and pin when I tightened the bearings. I also used Bearing Buddies with this seal. No grease inside my wheels and definitely an upgrade from 1976 standards
by: Eric09/19/2022
Everything worked great except for the spindle seal. I tried to get answers from the company that made the product to no avail and had to go with a normal seal rather then bearing buddy.
by: Robert07/21/2018
I looked locally for the bearing and seal sleeve I needed but nobody carried it. I called Etrailer and got Ian on the line. With only dimensions from the bearing and the seal from online research Ian was able to match up the parts I needed. Fast, intelligent and helpful service. I will go directly to etrailer next time and save me all the phone calls and running around.
by: Clyde Underwood07/07/2017
Ended up changing to other type of spindles so can grease from inside bearing to outside. Buggy bearings always seem to be either leaking water in of grease out. I will never use buddy bearing setup again if I can help it.
by: G&S Repair &Fab09/19/2016
B60002 seal kit. Used these a few times now on 2 different trailers. Guys have no want to replace a worn axle due to seal surfaces being worn and these bought them some extra time. When nothing else sealed right, these did the trick! Than you

My 2 cents.. While I get the concept, there are some things to look out for with this kit. I have had the same boat trailer for 5 years and trailer a lot. Never had a wheel bearing fail in 30 years. I have also been an auto mechanic for 30 years as well. Since the seals surfaces were getting a little rough and not sealing very well anymore, I decided to try the spindle kit. Couple things didnt work out. 1 the ID on the rings fit too tight on the seal shoulder on the spindle and and caused a none solid surface for the inner bearing to butt up against and made tightening the spindle nut was tricky. Had a little bit of a squishing effect. It also moved the nut out so I could only fit one half of the codder pin through the spindle. Drove it 5 miles and lost the bearing buddie on one side. Rechecked the spindle nut and was too loose. readjusted and drove again and lost another bearing buddie. Apparently this kit was not a good fit for my particular spindles. Same trailer etc I have been working with for years. They loosened up when driving and the wheel knocking back and forth ver every bump knocks the bearing buddie off. Going back to speedy sleeves and double lipped seals. Anyway, thought I would pass this along to save someone else some trouble.
by: J.P.08/21/2015
Installed the other day. Went down and dipped the trailer in the ocean and brought the boat home. The grease is still the right color and no spatters on the inside rim of the wheel.
Looks good so far.
by: Brad Bergholdt03/21/2019
You are my go-to folks for all my trailer needs (I have almost ten, of all kinds!). As always, your site was easy to navigate, clear and accurate specific info, and great prices. Shipping was quick. I could not ask for more!

Work as advertised, removed the BB the other day to inspect, no sign of water intrusion. BB coupled with the double lip grease seals are the ticket to long bearing life.

- Bearing Buddy and Spindle Grease Seal Set Recommendation for 3,500 Pound Axle TrailerTypically, 3,500 pound axles use an inner bearing # L68149. However, it is a good idea to double check that this is the inner bearing on your trailer. For a trailer that has an inner bearing of L68149 with a 1.980 Bearing Buddy, you will want to use the Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60002. It looks like you previously ordered the Titan Disc Brake Kit with actuating coupler. This kit uses the L68149 inner bearing. For these disc brakes with the 1.980 Bearing Buddy, the # BB60002 grease...
view full answer... - Bearing Buddies and Seals Compatible With # AKHD-655-35-K Hub/Brake Drum for 3500 lb AxleWe do have Bearing Buddies that would fit the 1.980 inch diameter hub bore used by the # AKHD- 655-35-K hub/drum. I'd recommend the stainless steel version, part # BB1980A-SS. For the Bearing Buddy seals, use # BB60002. Unfortunately, the # AKHD-655-35-K is a pre-packaged kit, we can't substitute any parts. The #TRU84FR spindle is compatible with the L44649 and L681449 bearings used by the hub/drum you're interested in, so it could be fabricated into a spare tire mount. I've linked you...

You don't have to dismantle them if you want to measure the spindle in a couple locations with a digital caliper like # PTW80157. I've attached a video of how to do this. Sometimes there isn't too much wear on the seal and you may be able to read the number on the metal rim. If not, then measuring the spindle and getting as...

- Finding Replacement Bearing Sizes for 2006 EZLoader TrailerI spoke with EZLoader, who gave me your bearing sizes. The inner bearing is # LM48548, which measures 1.375 inches. Its matching race is # LM48510. The outer bearing is # L44649, which measures 1.063 inches. Its matching race is # L44610. You can also purchase a grease seal set, # BB60002. We also offer grease caps for 1.98 inch hub bores, such as the standard grease cap # RG04-020, and the EZ Lube grease cap # DC200L-DCRP. I've attached several review videos of these products for...

These galvanized assemblies will work very well for saltwater or freshwater use, resisting corrosion. The free backing design allows you to back up without using the lockout on your coupler. This will absolutely fit your 3500 lb axle. For your Bearing Buddies, bearings, and seals, you very likely have the standard size 84 spindle but...

- Bearing Buddy Recommendation for Hub with Bearing Number L68149The correct Bearing Buddy to use with the bearing numbers you listed of L44649 and L68149 is the # BB1980A or # BB1980A-SS for stainless steel.
view full answer... - Bearings & Seals for 2004 EZ Loaded Boat Trailer Using Bearings L68149 and L44649We can help you with replacement seals and bearings for your boat trailer and also with replacement hubs if yours are worn or damaged. In general double-lip seals are desirable on boat trailers to help prevent entry of water and the escape of grease. For replacement bearings use parts # L68149 and # L44649 and for a double-lip seal (as supplied by the manufacturer) use part # BB60002. If the races in your hubs are worn or damaged you can replace them too, using parts # L68111 and # L44610. If...
view full answer... - How do Bearings and Hub Seals Install on a Boat Trailer HubThe inner bearing will not ride on the rubber o-ring. The bearing will ride on the spindle and the seal goes just to the outside of it and keeps the grease from leaking out of the hub. To see how it all goes together check out the video I attached.

view full answer... - Cant Install Rotor All the Way on Trailer Spindle Using Bearing Buddy Grease Seal SetIt will be a very tight fit, especially if you have previously wiped all the grease from the spindles prior to installing the rotors. What I believe is happening is the tight fit is preventing you from easily pushing the rotor all the way onto the spindle. If you still have a free seal assembly not installed in a rotor yet you can do a dry test fit on a spindle to see if it seats in the proper position at all. If it doesn't then it is possible that for some reason the Bearing Buddy grease...

For the bearings we have the part # 29749 and the race part # 29710. For the other bearing we do not have an exact number match, but based on the race # L44610 that you have the bearing you need is either the # L44643 or # L44649.

view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Replacement Bearings and Seal for 2001 Ranger Boat Trailer HubsIn order to determine the correct replacement bearings and seal for the hubs on your Ranger Boat Trailer, you will need to first remove the hub assemblies. Once removed, you can check for the bearing numbers, which should be stamped onto the bearings themselves. If you are unable to locate or read the numbers, you can also take a few measurements along the trailer spindle where the bearings and seal sit. I have attached an image that clarifies exactly where these measurements will be taken...

- What is Purpose of O-Ring that Comes with Spindle Grease Seal Set BB60002If you check out the diagram I attached you'll see how the O-ring of the Bearing Buddy Grease Seal set part # BB60002 installs. It's location is designed to compress between the seal ring and grease seal to help prevent the seal from leaking or failing. With Bearing Buddies people tend to put too much grease in the hubs with them so this acts as a way to help brace the seal and prevent failure.

- What Seal Is Needed To Replace NAPA Seal 17144 And Can Work With Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors? I do see the NAPA seal 17144 matches the dimensions of the Grease Seal # 58846. Since you are using a Bearing Buddy you are going to want to use one of their seal sets. The seal this size is typically in combination with a Inner Bearing # L68149 which will use the Seal Set # BB60002. This seal set is designed to be used in combination with a Bearing Buddy as it is capable of holding the pressure it creates.
view full answer... - Can Double-Lip Grease Seals Be Substituted for Standard SealsYou can replace a standard grease seal with one of the Bearing Buddy seals like # BB60002, even if you do not care to use the Bearing Buddy protectors, so long as the seal inner and outer diameters match the dimensions required by your spindle and hub bore. These seals are the double-lip type that can withstand the higher grease pressure inside the hub bore when a Bearing Buddy grease cap is installed but they will provide durable service even if this is not the case. They will also work...

We do not carry a unitized seal as Dexter does not manufacture one. This spindle seal set uses high-quality neoprene seals which ride on consistently greased stainless steel rings for easy, free movement. This will greatly improve the life of the seals. It is recommended to use these seals with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS to ensure adequate grease in the hub.
