Question:
I have a pair of BB1980 currently on my boat trailer and need to change out the other pair. Is there a difference between the 1980A and the 1980? The two look like the same product, except the 1980 A has the blue greese level indicatoe in it. Thanks for your help.

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 Protectors # BB1980T-SS which is that the latter - with the "T" in the part number - means that it is threaded and fits internally threaded hubs.
