Bearing Buddy Protectors for 7,000-lb Dexter axles
Question:
I did receive an answer, but have an additional question. I was sent to the following page http://www.etrailer.com/p-BB1980A.html for reference to my question. On that reply you stated that: Based on your 7000lb axles, it has a grease cap flange diameter of 2.722inch but the product you recommended has a 2.717 flange. Im concerned that the recommended hub buddy wont fit my 7000 lb Dexter axel. I failed to include that my axel was a Dexter axel on my initial question.

Thank you very much for your follow up question. The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2717 are designed to work with outer bearing model 14125A and outer bearing cup (race) model 14276, which are commonly found on 7,000-lb Dexter axles.
Most grease caps on 7K axles have a flange diameter of 2.722 because they are made of very thin metal and are designed to slightly crush when they are pressed into the hub bore. The Bearing Buddies don't crush as easily so they are made closer to spec with the hub bore inner diameter.
