How to Pick Out Bearing Buddy for a Trailer Hub

Expert Reply:
In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the hub bore of your hub. To do this, remove the wheel and tire and remove the grease cap from the center of the hub. Usually it is a metal cap that is just lightly hammered into place. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cap.
Clean the grease off and measure the opening. I have included a video demonstrating the Bearing Buddy.
The Bearing Buddies # BB1810 that you referenced are for hubs with a 1.81 inch hub bore.
The bras (covers) are available separately as well. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry listed.
