Bearing Buddy to Fit Boat Trailer Hub with 1.9-Inch Threaded Hub Bore

Question:

Ive been having some issues with my Reliable oil bath hubs on my EZ-Loader boat trailer, been thinking about converting to grease. The oil caps are 1.9 inch and screw into the hub. If these will screw into my hubs the switch over to grease should be easy. Will these thread into my hubs.

The Bearing Buddy Threaded Bearing Protectors you referenced, part # BB1980T-SS, are the only ones that are close to your hub bore measurement of 1.9-inches. The other two sizes are both over 2-inches.
These should fit your threaded hubs.

Please note that the depth of the threaded portion of this part is 5/16ths of an inch.

Bearing Buddy recommends using Perma-tex or another grease proof gasket cement when installing these bearing protectors.
