Provide your trailer wheel bearings with premium protection - replace your existing grease caps with Bearing Buddies. They install in seconds and provide an easy, safe way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub.
Features:
Specs:
Replace your existing grease cap with a Bearing Buddy to ensure a safe, easy way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub. To adjust the amount of grease in the hub, use a grease gun to add more through the appropriate fitting. Adding grease moves the Bearing Buddy spring-loaded piston outward 1/8".
The O-ring inside the barrel of the Bearing Buddy maintains a seal from the outside. The interior of the Bearing Buddy is pressurized, preventing water from entering the barrel and diluting the grease.
An automatic pressure-relief feature is built into the Bearing Buddy. When the device is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This prevents overfilling that can damage the inner seal.
You can manually check the grease level in your Bearing Buddy by pressing on the edge of the piston. If you can rock or move the piston, the hub is properly filled.

Fit on my Harbor Freight trailer wheels, I was unsure at first if the dimensions were right but they were, easy enough to install. Haven't towed the trailer really to test them in the wild.
Bearing Buddy is a good product. I had to use a block of wood and a small sledge hammer to put them on. They would not go on with a rubber mallet.
I measured 2.045" and the closest one from Bearing Buddy was 2.047"They are on and will not come off.... The trailer is a kit that I bought at depot in 1997... I would recommend
this product
After trying to buy bearing protectors at Harbor Freight, (my mistake) they don't even sell the right size for their trailers. I saw on the etrailer forums that several others had the same issue and the techs had recommended the correct size. They came in this week and I installed them. They were very snug, but once lined up they went right in. Worry free now.

I am very pleased with the bearing buddy. I had lost the bearing cap and couldn't find a replacement at any auto shop. However, the BB2047 fit perfectly and keeps my bearings lubricated continuously. Replacing the cap did force me to repack the bearing, but that was probably a good thing as water had gotten in there. I feel the bearing buddy will protect my bearings probably for the life of the trailer; and since the grease is under positive pressure, water won't get in there.
Keith V - 06/21/2021Great price and quick delivery. Bearing buddy 2047 fit my 52mm harbor freight trailer hubs perfectly!
Stellar eTrailer.com Tech and Customer support and quality product.
I have an imported folding trailer (HF 90154) & they do not stock protective hub covers for their trailer.
I contacted their customer support they provided me the hub dimensions (dust cap by diameter 52mm) , I then shared that info with etrailer tech support who directed me to the right bearing buddy product that I needed (2.047" or part# BB2047).
They shipped and delivered it in a timely manner. I installed it this morning and it seems to be working flawlessly as I would have expected from bearing buddy!

The Bearing Buddy fit my little Harbor Freight Tag a Long trailer perfectly.
Your fitment description was spot on.
Thanks!
Dirtstiff - 02/18/2018Fit the old harbor freight trailer perfectly. Thanks
Fast Shipping. Installation easy, fits well, grease expanded into cap just as described. Looking forward to many years of bearing life without having to pack the bearings again and again.
hjrjolie - 06/08/2020Myself, I have been looking for nearly 3 years for the correct size, 2.047 and it was my friend that located your site. Both went on very snug. In the past I would purchase smaller ones and twist the
inner surface and shove them on with little effort and then fly off during my travels. These Bearing Buddys went on Solid ! Harbor Freight wasn't any help at all.
Fit perfectly on my 1195 lb. 4x8 foldable trailer. Tapped them in with a wood block and hammer, filled with grease, and installed the rubber covers--all done in less than 5 minutes. Haven't road-tested yet, but no reason to expect any problems.
Steve L - 08/16/2018They really look like good material.
3Great fit and finish.
Excellent product. Fits like a glove on my HF trailer wheels
This things are great. They arrived just in time and they fit perfectly on my Harbor Freight trailer.
Bearing Buddies arrived today, I immediately had to install them with no problem whatsoever, great fit. Installed on a Harbor Freight trailer....thank you etrailer.
Fit was perfect. Obsolete size but you came through. Thank you.
Very tough to find size bearing cover. Not even the Specialty trailer shop in my area didnt have them. etrailer had them and shipped them out fast. Great website made finding what I need easy.
Installed the BB2047 Bearing Buddies on a Detail K2 MMT 5x7 trailer.
The trailer hub has a 1/8" grease fitting on the backside which is inaccessible even to a contortionist and the maintenance instructions call for repacking the wheel bearings by hand annually or every 2000 miles.
The best alternative for a 75 year old arthritic was obviously the Bearing Buddies.
They arrived as promised and each grease cap was changed out in less than 2 minutes.
The annual repack will be replaced with a couple of strokes of the grease gun on occasion as needed.
It doesn't get any easier than that.
Al F - 08/26/2018Great product and service!
Only Cap that would fit Harbor Freight largest trailer.
Works and fits perfectly!
Quick delivery, great price. Using on hubs of a pull behind motorcycle touring trailer to keep the bearings lubed.
The Model 2047 Bearing Buddy bearing protectors were a perfect fit for the wheel hubs on the Harbor Freight heavy-duty trailer that I am using as the base for my new home-built teardrop camper. Installation was straightforward and only took a few minutes per side. I am looking forward to many years (and miles) of trouble-free wheel bearings now that these bearing protectors are installed.
Steve D - 03/28/2016Excellent upgrade for my utility trailer. Easy to install and a very beneficial way to monitor and add grease to the wheel bearings. I previously had to pull off the trailer wheels to repack the bearings with grease but now I add a few pumps of grease before every road trip. My bearings will last longer and I have peace of mind. Great product!
