The Original Bearing Buddy caps lasted 3 times longer than the knock-off caps I had been using.
by: Joe07/16/2019
I measured 2" OD on trailer and the Bearing Buddy Bras fitted nice and tight and look great. It was a tight fit and I am not sure I ordered the correct size but they are nice and snug.

The aging dual axle boat trailer I bought had Bearing Buddy brand caps on one side and some other type on the other. One of the "others" is split and the second looked as it might not last long. Other brand replacements did not seem look and feel as durable as Bearing Buddy so I ordered two. Packaged they had a disk insert to maintain shape, they fit snugly, and seem durable.
by: Jerry J.03/26/2017
What can I say? They cover my bearing buddies and stay secure. Before these I would have to remove my camper wheels because there was a plastic hub that inserted from inside the wheel to cover my bearing buddies. Now I have access anytime I feel the need to add some grease.
by: vh03/26/2017
The dust covers looked to small so I thought that I had ordered the wrong size. However, I tried one and it is a very tight fit, which is probably a good thing for a boat trailer to keep water out of the hubs. Hope I can get them off to grease the bearings.
by: Dominic05/30/2019
These fit my stainless steel bearing buddies perfectly. The trick is to measure the diameter of the bearing buddy and make sure you are ordering caps made for this diameter. This is important because stainless steel bearing buddies come in two, slightly different diameters.
by: PT-13Pilot03/22/2017
I have used these on all my trailers and ordered these for a new to me PWC double trailer. While I never use bearing buddy's, their dust covers over the metal dust cap/rubber grease cover plug is just another layer of defense in keeping water and contaminates out of your bearings and hubs. And they look nice. Cheaper here than anywhere and shipped fast!
by: John12/16/2017
Product is standard bearing buddy bras. The etrailer.com shopping experience is excellent!! The website is very intuitive and user friendly, the product selection is excellent, and product was promptly shipped on time! Great experience, I’ve now a regular customer going forward! Thank You!!
by: Jim L.04/17/2019
First off I want to say, if you use your trailer a lot and do some serious highway driving, you would be foolish not to have "Bearing Buddies" on your hubs! The covers on mine were old and getting loose. These fit perfectly and will help me get on down the road without worrying about my wheel bearings.
by: Will W. 09/13/2016
These units come with the bra covers included, and they installed easily. I used a block of tropical hard wood to protect it, then I hit it on with a small sledge hammer. This is one of those quick easy jobs you can do that will have long-term implications for the useful life of your trailer. They're of good quality, and I'm proud to have it on my rig. I packed them with a waterproof green grease, because of the climate where I live. Initially I tried to order from Amazon, but they didn't ship to Hawaii, which is plain awful. Thankfully eTrailer shipped ultra-fast and for a reasonable price. Will be returning here from now on for trailer stuff.
by: Don W11/19/2016
Just what I needed to complete the upgrade to my boat trailer wheel bearing protection after a costly failure. Good price, reasonable shipping cost, prompt service. Everything I had hoped for.

- Selecting Bearing Buddy Grease Cap Covers for 2-Inch Diameter Bearing BuddyThe Replacement Bearing Buddy Bras Model 17B, part # BB17B, will fit on Bearing Buddy grease caps for hub bores from 1.781-inches to 1.810-inches. These caps will have an outer diameter of close to 2-inches. Because these bras are made of flexible vinyl they will fit multiple sizes. The next size up is part # BB19B. This bra has an outer diameter of 2-1/8-inches. I suggest part # BB17B since it will provide a more snug fit.
view full answer... - Need a Replacement Bearing Buddy Dust Cap Bra for Model 178If you have model 1781, or 1781SS, the correct replacement Bearing Buddy Bra will be # BB17B. These covers are going to slide over your Bearing Buddy, and have an outer diameter of two inches.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearing Buddy Bra With 2 Inch DiameterThe Replacement Bearing Buddy Bras - Model 17B # BB17B have an outer diameter of 2 inches and are direct replacements for models 1781, 1781SS, 1810 and 1810SS Bearing Buddies. I assume this is the diameter of the cap you were referring to, and if so, these would work for you. I've added a link to a video review of these caps for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Correct Size Bearing Buddy BraThe Bearing Buddy Bra # BB19B you purchased has an outer diameter of 2-1/8" and fits models 1980, 1980SS, 1980A, 1980A-SS, 1938, 1938SS, 1968, 1968SS, 2047, 2047SS, 2080 and 2080SS. The only other Bearing Buddy Bra we carry that is smaller is # BB17B, which has an outer diameter of 2" and fits models 1781, 1781SS, 1810 and 1810SS, so if you have one of those models this part would work for you. I've added a link to a video review of this part for you to check out as well.

The outer diameter of the bra is 2-1/8 inches which means the inner diameter is approximately 2 inches. There is another option that is much too large and a third, # BB17B, that is likely too small (it has an outer diameter of 2 inches).

The closest Bearing Buddy sizes that are close to the 2 inches that you measured are either 1.98 inches or 2.047 inches. The Bearing Buddy # BB17B you referenced are too small for your bearing, the largest they hold is 1.81 inches. To get an accurate measurement to find the correct coverbra, measure the inside diameter of the Bearing Buddy where the hub sits with a caliper.
view full answer... - Bearing Bra Size for Bearing Buddies that have a 2 Inch Outer DiameterIf the outer diameter on your Bearing Buddies is 2 inches you will need # BB19B because it's outer diameter is 2-1/8 inches making the inner diameter a little less. If you happen to know the model Bearing Buddies you have I can double check that. Or if you know your outer bearing number that will help too.
