Bearing Buddy II with Auto Check Review - Video

Today we are going to show you part number 1980A it is a Genuine Bearing Buddy trailer wheel bearing protector. The part number actually stands for 1.98 inches. It is shown here because it is the most popular bearing cover size for all 3,500 pound axles and most 2,000 pound axles and hubs that are out there. What these parts do is replace the regular dust cap that is on your hub. Basically, that gets taken off and everything stays the same on the inside. What you do is pack a little bit of grease in these, just a little bit in here. Then what happens is this gets installed and it does get hammered into place, use a wooden block between this and the hammer. And you drive it in flat. As you can see here there is a little Zerk fitting here. Once you have the bearing protector installed you fill it up with grease. And basically you just want to fill it up just enough until the spring starts moving out, because what has happened is you have air trapped in there and you want to give it a chance to work its way out. more
