Bearing Buddy Operation

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.

  • Is Swapping to Disc Brakes Beneficial For a 2010 Keystone Laredo 5TH Wheel?
    For your 2010 Keystone Laredo 266RL a Disc Brake trailer brake upgrade would provide you will a lot better stopping power. You would need to remove your current brake assemblies and hubs. The disc brakes will also require some modification to your trailers braking system. You will have to use an electric over hydraulic brake actuator which may require a different brake controller and run brake lines that will need to be filled with brake fluid and properly bleed. The benefits are that...

  • Hubs and Disc Brakes For a MagicTilt Boat Trailer With 6,000LB Axles
    The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-51UC1-EZ is what we have for the part number PD2550-L but you will need the Grease Seal # GS-2125DL to replace the larger seal in the kit. Each pair of hubs will use these Bearing Buddy Protectors # BB2441SS instead of the PF1102 which is for a different size hub bore. The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8164311 is the exact same as the part number PG1094. The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE28YR will work in place of the PG2033. And these will...

  • Replacement Trailer Hub for Hub Marked 82655
    Hey Scott, you can use 6-on-5-1/2 idler hub assembly # AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K to replace what you have based on the part number you found on the hub. Then for Bearing Buddies you'd want the part # BB2441SS.

  • Parts Needed For Installing Stainless Steel Disc Brakes On a 6,000LB Single Axle Trailer
    Starting with the axles, we do not carry any galvanized axles in the dimension you are needing. You may consider taking the axles you already have and having them galvanized at a local facility as long as they are not otherwise damaged. While we do not carry sealed hubs like the Vortex we do have a Stainless Hub # KH42655S. You will need a Inner Bearing # 25580, Outer Bearing # 15123 and Grease Seal # GS-2250DL(2.25" ID) or # GS-2125DL(2.125" ID) for each hub. The Bearing Buddy # BB2441SS...

  • Finding Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors For a Old Motorcycle Trailer With 4 on 4" Lug Pattern
    I wish I had a way to look up the parts installed on your holsclaw MB9 motorcycle trailer so I could say exactly what you need but unfortunately that is not an option we have. I am going to need you to pull off one of your grease caps and measure the bore diameter on your hub using a Digital Caliper # PTW80157. With that measurement you will be able to select the correct size bearing buddy from the list below. 1.781" Inner Hub Press # BB1781SS 1.810" Inner Hub Press # BB1810 1.938" Inner...

  • Recommended Bearing Buddy Protectors For Kodiak Disc Brake Kit
    The Hub inside diameter on the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, part # K2HR526DS measures 2.441 inches diameter. The Bearing Buddy I recommend is part # BB2441. These are made of stainless steel internal parts and triple-chromed plated steel barrel. These also include the rubber covers. For stainless steel construction that is perfect for marine applications you can check out part # BB2441SS. I have attached a product review video you can take a look at.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies and Hubs for Dual Axle Boat Trailer
    I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-D. The dacromet-coated backing plates are corrosion resistant which is ideal for a boat trailer. Both left and right hand sides are included with the kit. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-G-K has a galvanized finish to also prevent corrosion. It will include new bearings, races, grease seal, dust cap and lug nuts. The Outer Bearing # 15123 matches the one you already checked. It will use Inner Bearing # 25580 which as...

  • Recommended Disc Brake Kit for Trailer With Tandem 5200 lb Axles
    I suspect what you have is what's known as a 5200 lb axle. Assuming your axle uses the 25580 inner and 15123 outer bearings which are typical on axles with capacities of 5200-6000 lbs, and your existing wheels have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, the Kodiak # K2HR526D disc brake kit you'd looked at would work great for you. The kit includes 2 hub/rotors, 2 brake calipers and 2 caliper mounting brackets as well as the bolts for mounting the calipers to the brackets. For a tandem axle trailer,...

  • Converting a 2010 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer To Hydraulic Disc Brakes
    This will need to be pieced together to build you an entire kit. First the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 will replace your current brake and hub assemblies on your 2010 Forest River Salem 336QBUD. This will let you remove the brake rotors separately from the hub for service or replacement. I recommend a Bearing Buddy # BB2441SS to make greasing your bearings easily done without having to remove your hub. I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526S for your Salem....

  • Is There a Bearing Buddy that is Threaded Comparable to a 2240?
    I contacted Bearing Buddy to see what threaded cap they recommend for your application to convert from oil bath to grease. They said that the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors, # BB2441SS, is most likely the application for your trailer based on the 2240 question. This Bearing Buddy threaded grease cap has 12 threads per inch, as does # BB2080T-SS, but there are other threads like the # BB1980T-SS which has 24 threads per inch.

  • Replacement Bearing Caps for a Boat Trailer with 4.4K Axles
    For a boat trailer like yours, I recommend going with a Bearing Buddy that will keep the water out. With a gross vehicle weight rating of 8026 pounds, you probably have 4.4K axles. The appropriate Bearing Buddy will be part # BB2441SS. This will fit inner hub bores with inner diameters of 2.441", so be sure to measure yours to ensure it's correct. If, by chance, your hub bore is threaded, then use the Bearing Buddy with threading, part # BB2441T-SS. I've linked to video reviews of both...

  • What Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Wil Fit a 2018 Keystone Outback 266RB?
    I have some steps to help you determine the correct size Bearing Buddy protectors for your 2018 Keystone Outback 266RB. You are either going to need to remove your current grease cap as I have no way to see what axles keystone installed from the factory. Or if you can provide me with the axle tag information I can reach out to either Dexter or Lippert to verify the parts installed. If you choose to measure the cap you will want to use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to get the most accurate...

  • Which Bearing Buddies Will Work with Kodiak Disc Brake Kit 12 Inch Hub Rotor
    I took the measurements and specs from the bearings on part # K2HR526D, and matched up the specs to determine that the Bearing Buddies that you need are Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors, part # BB2441SS. These will work perfectly with your Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, part # K2HR526D. I have linked a video overview on bearing buddies that you may find as a good reference. There is also a video of installation of a smaller size Kodiak Disc Brake Install linked below.

  • Determining if Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441SS Will Fit 4,400 Pound Dexter Hubs
    Most likely the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441SS that you referenced are the correct units for the hubs on your Dexter 4,400 pound axle, as the hubs should use the # LM67048 outer bearing. With this in mind I do still recommend verifying your hub bore diameter to be sure. These are designed to fit hub bores with a diameter of 2.441 inches. As you can see the measurement is very precise so I do recommend using a digital caliper that can measure to 3 decimal places.

  • Bearing Buddies for 2.430 to 2.444 Inch Hub Bore
    We do have the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441 or the Stainless Steel version # BB2441SS for corrosion resistance that are designed to fit hub bore diameters of 2.441 inches. This certainly falls within the range you provided but you might want to try and take one more measurement on your car hauler's hub bore just to be sure it matches. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

    The correct grease/dust cap size for your Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR526D is 2.44". For EZ Lube grease caps with this dimension we have part # RG04-080 which comes in a quantity of 2. If you are wanting to upgrade to Bearing Buddys (which would require you to remove the grease zerk on your spindle) we have these both in Chrome # BB2441 and Stainless Steel # BB2441SS.

  • Should New Bearings Be Packed Prior To Instillation If using Bearing Buddies?
    I recommended removing all of the old grease and packing the new bearings prior installing them. When you install the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2441SS - Stainless Steel (Pair) Item # BB2441SS you can add more grease with a gun to help make sure everything is fully packed. You want to make sure you use the same grease as some different greases cannot be mixed.

  • Can Bearing Buddy Be Used On Trailer With EZ Lube Axles
    You are correct that the zerk fitting on your spindle will need to be removed for you to use the bearing buddy, but the great part is the bearing buddy will be able to push grease through the spindle providing grease through the spindle to the inner bearing. To find the correct bearing buddy you will need to use digital calipers like # PTW80157 to measure the inside diameter of your hub since each bearing buddy is made for a certain sized hub. For example the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors...

  • Can Bearing Buddy Protector be Used on Trailer Spindle with Grease Fitting
    To install Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like the part # BB2441SS that you were looking at on trailer spindles that feature a grease fitting you will indeed need to remove the zerk fitting first. This is simply because the Bearing Buddy won't fit to the hub properly with the grease fitting behind it on the spindle. With the fitting removed the Bearing Buddy will fit and work great as long as it is the correct size for your hub. This particular model is designed to fit a hub bore diameter...
