You will most likely need the Bearing Buddy Model 2441 for your trailer with Dexter axles. You should measure to be sure, before ordering. The outside diameter of the original drive in grease cap seating surface should be 2.44 inches. If your grease cap is too damaged to get an accurate measurement then you can measure the inside diameter of the cap seating surface on the hub which should also be 2.44 inches. If your grease cap measurement is different let me know and we will get the proper part number for your axles.

When driving bearing buddies in, be sure to have them straight and not to drive with a steel hammer or mallet. The fit on the Buddies is very tight because they are heavier than a normal grease cap and need to be seated more securely.
