Bearing Buddy and Spindle Grease Seal Set Recommendation for 3,500 Pound Axle Trailer

Question:

I have three boat trailers each with a 3500 lb axel and hubs. Each hub has a 1.98 bearing buddy currently installed. Im looking to purchase 3 sets of the bearing buddy SS spindle cover and seals. Im not sure of the spindle diameter but it looks like the spindle in your video. Can you give me your correct part number so I dont have to remove a hub? Thanks.

Typically, 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 seal set will work well.

If your trailers have the Titan disc brakes you previously ordered on them, the # BB6002 should work great for you.

If you also need to replace your 1.980 Bearing Buddies, you can use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS # BB1980A-SS.
