• Replacement Bearings Needed For A 1999 Bi-Mart/Harbor Freight Trailer
  Hey Samuel, Timken offers a replacement for the 30205, but I don't have any dimensions besides what Timken has listed to confirm if it's the correct replacement and I couldn't find anything at all on the 13 M 5 bearing so we're going to need to take some measurements with a caliper # PTW80157. If you measure points B, C, and D from the diagram below we'll have our inner diameters and if you measure the bore hole of the hub we'll have the outer diameters for each bearing and the seal....

• Recommended Seal for a 1 1/16th Inch Straight Spindle
  With the spindle having a diameter of 1 1/16, you would want the bearing kit # BK1-150. This does include the larger 1.5 inch diameter seal # 10-9. The 1.25 inch diameter seal would be for a 1 inch diameter straight spindle. The seal should have a fairly snug fit, but not excessively. It should also not be loose. This would cause it to leak and let water in, which would be bad. I have included an install video the shows how to replace bearings, seals, and caps on hubs that should help as well.

• Bearing Buddy And Spindle Grease Seal For The AKIHUB-545-2-1K Idler Hub Assembly
  It looks like you did your homework Ron, because the Bearing Buddy # BB1980A and the Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60001 are indeed the proper parts for the # AKIHUB-545-2-1K idler hub assembly. This hub uses the # L44643 inner bearing, so the bearing buddies and seals you picked are sized perfectly. I will not pretend to fully understand our pricing algorithms, but if the stainless bearing buddies # BB1980A-SS are currently on sale I would definitely go with those. The chrome has decent...

• Determining Bearing Buddy Grease Seal Set
  Based on your spindle measurement where the bearings ride it sounds like you have # L44649 for the bearings which means the correct Bearing Buddy seal set is part # BB60005. Although, with those bearings you should have a BTR spindle and the location where the seal rides should be 1.50 inches not 1.25 inches. If the seal location is 1.25 inches then it sounds like you have a BT8 spindle in which case you have # L44643 for the bearings which measure 0.99 inches and you need part # BB60001...

• New Grease Seal Leaked After Installation of Bearing Buddies with Hub Kit # 8-248-50UC1
  Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer. The grease seal included with this hub kit has an inner diameter of 1.500-inches and an outer diameter of 1.987-inches. This seal should be fully seated into the rear bore of the hub so that it is flush with the back hub surface. The grease seal leak you experienced could come from the seal not being fully seated into the hub, or it could, as you noted, be a result of the over-filling of your Bearing Buddies. If this hub does not have...

• Can Older Race in Trailer Hub Be Reused and Will Grease Seal Installed Past Flush be Okay
  Reusing your old race is totally fine and going just a little bit past flush with the grease seal is totally fine as well. Normally we recommend flush but if you are just a bit past that there won't be any problems.

• Recommended Replacement Spindle for a 1963 Small Boat Trailer
  Unfortunately, no we do not carry axe sleeve repair kits, so your options would be to replace the entire axle, the spindle, or you can just use the Spindle Grease Seal Set for L44643 Inner Bearing and 1.980 Bearing Buddy # BB60001. This kit is designed to fix the exact issue you're having by providing a new surface for the grease seal to ride on which would be the same as using a new spindle but would be significantly cheaper and easier to do.

  When installing the double-lip grease seals like # BB60001 that are needed when using Bearing Buddy bearing protectors like # BB1980A-SS you want to install the rear grease seals as gently as you can, to avoid any deformation of their shape, and only until they are flush with the rear hub bore.

• What Order do the Parts Get Installed for Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60001 for Bearing Buddies
  The video is correct. The diagram is more for identifying the parts and their basic placement. The o-ring actually is supposed to ride on the spindle but can actually fit through that stainless steel ring when not on the spindle. So basically, you will slide on the stainless steel ring first then slip the o-ring on. The grease seal will install in the back of the hub just like you would normally do with a seal. You would then install the hub. So the diagram is basically an exploded view...

• Recommended Bearing Buddy Grease Cap & Seal for Boat Trailer Using Dexter Hub 34822BX
  For a hub like the Dexter # 34822BX that has a hub bore diameter of 1.98-inches, you'll want to use stainless steel Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS. These will provide the best resistance to corrosion and will allow the boat trailer's wheels to be completely submerged. The blue indicator makes it easy to see when you need to add grease. If this will be your first time using Bearing Buddies use caution when filling them initially. There can be a tendency to over-fill which can cause your inner...

With these part numbers I will be able to determine the bearings,...
