Replacement cover slides over Bearing Buddy to keep grease contained and off of your tires and wheels.
Features:
To prevent overfilling, Bearing Buddies have an automatic pressure relief feature that allows the grease to come out through the Bearing Buddy instead of out the grease seal on the back of the hub. The bra over the Bearing Buddy contains the grease, keeping if off of the trailer tires and wheels.

Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement bra for the Bearing Buddies. Now, this is going to be the larger size. This is outside to outside dimensions, here are going to be two and 1/8 of an inch. These are just spacers to keep them in shape. Generally, it's going to be, as you can see here, a hollow cap.Now, this is going to be a vinyl cover.
You're probably used to seeing, especially if you're looking for the replacement or maybe you've bought a new trailer and these we're missing on it. Basically, your Bearing Buddy sticks on the end of your hub. This is just going to slide over the end of it. It keeps everything contained, and it's going to help keep any excess grease contained within rather than it getting that rotational energy and slinging out on your tires.Now, as far as the models it's going to fit, again, the key thing to know is if you measure your Bearing Buddy and it's near two and 1/8 of an inch outside to outside, this is going to be the replacement. So that covers the 1980, 1980SS, 1980A, 1980A-SS, 1938, 1938SS, 1968 model, 1968SS, 2047, 2047SS, 2080, and 2080SS.It's going to be an excellent way to keep that grease from being slung around, and it also keeps moisture from getting in there.
It keeps dirt from getting in there, and it just helps to ensure your Bearing Buddies are going to last for a very long time and keep your bearings in there packed full of grease.There's also going to be instructions here, as far as how to check the levels. So if you don't know exactly how a Bearing Buddy works, it spells it all out right there for you exactly how to just push the piston. If it doesn't rock, add a little grease. If it does, you're good to go.But all in all, just be an excellent way to get those protected and also protect grease from being flung out all over your wheels and tires.

Replacement cover slides over Bearing Buddy to keep grease contained and off of your tires and wheels.Great product at a wonderful price! All the ones that I could find locally were cheap looking and expensive so I turned to the internet where I found a great company - etrailer.com -
they had the exact items I was replacing at a great discount from local retail stores. The order process was easy and the shipping was quick.
I will be shopping etrailer.com for future needs.
Awesome service from this company and personnel who respectfully provided me with correct replacements..I highly recommend others who are compelled to purchase likeful items do so from this company..
I have been working on a boat and trailer that I got in a government surplus auction. The trailer is a triple axle and needed quite a bit of work. I replaced one axle and the brake lights. I am in the process of replacing all of the brakes, tires, bearings and seals. I am about half way done with the trailer and so far I have been very happy with the parts I have received from etrailer. I have not been able to road test them yet but installation has been great. I intend on getting a majority of the parts I need to finish the project from etrailer. The video overviews and installation instructions have been very helpful. Looking forward to sharing more pictures when the project is done.
Second set if these I've used. First was on my utility trailer years ago. This set is on my home built log splitter. The first time I towed the splitter I suffered from a bad inner seal that spewed grease all inside the one wheel rim. I was 150 miles from home, deep in the woods. Had to pull the wheel and repack the axle with grease to make it home. Found a welding spall on the axle that chewed up the seal. Removed the spall, polished the seal surface and put on a new seal. Then I added the Bearing Buddy's to make sure I kept things lubricated in the future. They do the job and provide peace of mind.
Great deal. Fast shipping. Received just what I ordered. Thank you.
John - 11/14/2022Exact replacement part for the original caps. Exactly what I needed and expected.
Cap was too large, will not stay on. See picture with it on the shaft and picture of the cap from the other wheel fitting inside Bearing Buddy.
Quick delivery and fits as expected what more can one ask!!!
Well got them n they are lil big. Slips off. Np though just wrapped some tape on the hubs till snug. Suppose to be the correct ones. Measured the hub with a digital caliper.got 1.98 .site said they would fit. But all will be ok
I needed some replacement bras to go over the "Bearing Buddy" greasers on my boat trailer. I could not find just the covers locally but etrailer had them What I appreciated the most was the ease of navigating their website. Click-click, and they were on their way!
John K - 09/13/2021Great quality and fast delivery
these never fit
Mike L - 09/23/2022Work as they should keeps dirt and dust off.
Christopher - 08/17/2022Fit perfect and e-trailer is always the best.
The product I received was just like advertised. Fast service exactly what I needed.
I use stainless steel bearing buddies on my boat trailer. When you purchase the caps for the bearing buddies, be careful to make sure the cap is appropriate for your model of bearing buddy. As long as you do this, you will be fine, and the cap will fit tightly on the bearing buddy.
I learned this the hard way by ordering caps that were just a bit too lose, and the caps kept falling off. Now that I have the right caps, they stay in place as they should.
Dominic - 04/20/2021Every boater knows about Buddy Bearing and Bras. You can't beat the best and you can't beat the price and service at eTrailer. Best site on the web for trailer parts and supplies. And, the fastest shipping too. I love shopping online at eTrailer.

All of these are working out really well. I especially like the Fulton spare tire carrier, mounted on the trailer tongue towards the front---gives about 1.5 inches of clearance between the boat and the mounted spare tire. The adjustable height of the mounting arm was really a nice feature for my application. I've use Lubrimatic marine grease for years, and expect long life from this brand. The Bow Stop has the perfect angle to receive the bow of my 1970 classic Glastron Futura V 153, and so far appears to be non-marring to the finish of the boat. Very happy with all of these items!
RON S - 08/03/2020This time we got ones that fit, took less time to get when we paid for the cheaper freight.
Thomas - 05/22/2022PERFECT JUST WHAT I NEEDED
exactly what I ordered
Looks like a great idea. Seems like a high quality part.
Figured I'd double up on protection replacing the rubber grease caps and putting these over the whole assembly...but... they are too large of a diameter to fit the bearing buddy on my trailer.They would absolutely spin off the 1st travel mile.
Must be there are multiple sizes?
...C'est la vie....I am sure that the new grease cap plugs alone will provide plenty of protection, as per the original equipment on the trailer.
