Bearing Buddy Recommendation for a Harbor Freight Trailer
Question:
I bought a knock off from Harbor Freight and it was listed as 1.98. It was able to fit it inside the hub but it would pop out when I try to hammer it in. Should I go smaller to 1.96inch or the 1.78inch model?

Expert Reply:
I actually called Harbor Freight about your trailer to determine what size dust cap is used on that trailer. I reached a tech and he stated that the dust cap is 52mm or 2.0488 inches. It looks like the best option is # BB2047 or # BB2047SS . However, you normally want them to be slightly larger than the hub bore to fit snugly.
