Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to choose the correct Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector, we'll need to know either the diameter of the hub bore or the reference number for the outer wheel bearing. For instance, the # BB1980A-SS you'd looked at is compatible with a 1.98 inch hub bore and either an L44643 or an L44649 outer wheel bearing.
I'll link to a photo showing the dimension you'll need to get. A digital caliper like # PTW80157 is a handy item to have for taking precise measurements.
If you'd care reply with either the hub bore dimension or the reference number from the outer wheel bearing, I'd be happy to recommend a Bearing Buddy model for you.
