The hub bore of 2 5/8, or 2.625, is kind of an odd size. It puts you in between the Bearing Buddy # BB2562SS, which fits a 2.562 inch hub bore, and the Bearing Buddy # BB2717SS, which fits a 2.717 inch hub bore. That being said. the # BB2562SS is not a common size and is used mostly for agricultural applications. The # BB2717SS is going to be your best bet, but may require a little sanding of either the part of the hub to get everything seated properly.
