How To Determine What Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Will Work With Trailer Hub
Question:
I measure inside hub bow , measure 1 7/8 with a tape measure , could you tell me what size of buddy bearing Procter I would need for boat trailer
asked by: Mike M
Expert Reply:
A tape measure is really not the best way to measure the hub bore on your trailer to find the right size Bearing Buddy.
I recommend a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 to make sure you get the most accurate measurement.
If you find your hub bore measure 1.781 inches then part # BB1781 would work great for your trailer. If your hub bore measures 1.980 inches, part # BB1980A would be a great fit.
