How to Pick Out Bearing Buddy for Trailer
Question:
I have a 2015 carry-on 5x10 trailer and I would like install a bearing buddy but I’m not sure which on will fit my trailer. Do you know which one will work? Thank you

Expert Reply:
In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the pilot hole 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 # BB1980A-SS that you referenced are for hubs with a 1.98 inch hub bore.
