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.
Price and fast shipping great!

It does the job. That's all I wanted.

As usual.....great service and quality product.
Received items today. Fit perfectly. Good price and quick shipping.
Thanks
Our existing Bearing Buddies did not have Bras so I figured why not get them for all of them. They work great and keep everything dust free.
I had lost both old caps and was impressed that htey had the measurments, of the cap in the description - they fit perfectly.
great product, great service (as always) by etrailer. very satisfied.
These are life savers! - no worries of over filling your bearings ever again ( these are just the caps- be sure to get the kit if you need them).
Etrailer.com 's communication through the order process to deliver and after is exceptional! I will definitely buy from you guys again.
Thank you!
I have ordered many items from etrailer and the service is great. Their shipping times are outstanding, and their products are excellent as always. Will order most everytime I need anything to do with trailers. Thanks for being a great supplier of trailer parts and all towing needs.

I was gifted a 14 ft. aluminum boat and trailer from my brother in law, which was over 50 years old. I wanted to redo both and bring life back into them. Etrailer has been there to help me achieve my dream with multiple quality parts that I needed. Their help over the phone when needed was outstanding and professional. Products shipped and arrived within just a few days. Thank you Etrailer for helping me make this project come to life.
Very good product! Easy to order through etrailer.com. Have ordered other items in the past which went well so I ordered from them again.

Working great !
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.
Well, this will help keep the rims cleaner. I've used these before and they work great.
Perfect fit thanks !!!!!!!
Thanks for reaching out. The bearing covers work great.
Fit my grease buddies perfect
Perfect fit on my boat trailer. I had previously bought 2 sets of dust covers that would not fit and stay on during trips to lake. Thank you for speedy delivery and order response. Great product
Work just great. Tight fit, no seeping of grease.

The trailer looks fantastic, Keith! It's so awesome to hear stories like yours. Is there anything else you need to do to the trailer/boat or are you all finished?
