Review of Timken Lubricants Sealants Adhesives - Hi Temp Red Grease Disc Drum Brake - TMK79ZR Video

Grease seal set #RG06-050 is what you will need. These are double lip seals, just like what you have (the spring indicates that) and the dimensions are all the same including the 1/2 inch width.

The model 1980 Bearing Buddy simply means that they fit a 1.980 inch hub bore. There is one difference of note between Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors #BB1980A (Chrome Plated) or #BB1980A-SS (Stainless Steel) and the Bearing Buddy Bearing…

The inner bearing will not ride on the rubber o-ring. The bearing will ride on the spindle and the seal goes just to the outside of it and keeps the grease from leaking out of the hub. To see how it all goes together check out the video I attached.

The Bearing Buddy you would want would be the #BB1980A-SS or #BB1980A since you have bearing L44649 as the outer bearing. #BB1980A-SS is the stainless steel version which will resist corrosion better than the chrome plated #BB1980A.

We carry the Bearing Buddy Spindle Grease Seal Set #BB60002 instead of the Dexter sleeve. I do not recommend the Dexter as with the one hole if that sleeve were to spin on the shaft it would block the hole of the EZ lube grease zerk. With the…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13…

The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles #AKIHUB-545-2-1K you were looking at may fit your Reliable BT150A axle, but based on my research it may use the #L44643 bearings like the #AKIHUB-545-2-1K, or may use #L44649 bearings. The only way to be…

Identifying replacement hubs for your older trailer will require you to confirm a few details from your trailer: its axle weight rating, bolt pattern, and the existing bearing and seal numbers. If these cannot be found you will need to take precise…

Since your trailer uses a combined wiring system where the stop and turn signals run on the same circuit, in order to add a third brake light to your trailer you would need to use a 2-Wire to 3-Wire Converter, like part #118158. This will convert the…

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

I was unable to find any information with the numbers on your axle, unfortunately. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the trailer and they should be able to tell you exactly which inner and outer bearings you have. If for some reason they…
