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.

Great people to deal with.

Fast shipping as always with etrailer. Measured inside diameter of hub with calibers and etrailer was the only one with that size. Fit perfect and easy install with a block of wood and hammer.

Fits as they should. Easy to install. I have them on 4 trailers. Would not use anything else.
by: Mitch K.07/19/2013
Anyone with any trailer experience has already heard of "bearing buddy" and if it wasn't a great product there wouldn't be so many copy cats. What impressed me the most was the fact they had them in the 2.3" size, and even more impressive is etrailer was the only place I could find them. To top it all off, I needed them in a hurry and etrailer got them here on time. They are great to use on any trailer, but I would never have a boat trailer without them, EVER.
Great product. Great distributor. Thanks etrailer!

The Buddy Bearing ordered fit great based on the information received from etrailer advisor. They were very helpful based upon measurements supplied to them. The Buddy Bearing has performed excellent.
by: Gregory J10/29/2018
I was looking for a difficult core size, (2 & 5/16"), and "thanks etrailer" for helping me after I first ordered the wrong size. I got my correct Bearing Buddy set for my older boat trailer. I am excited to put them into action.
The BB2328 is the exact size. It was difficult to get them started, as the alignment required exactness, but I managed and I will not worry about them to fall out or easily be stolen. These BBs are a seamless fit. Thanks again etrailer...
by: Scott R.05/24/2015
My buddies fit a little loose. I used a little lock-tight and some tension pins to keep them in place.

We upgraded our bass trailer with this Titan swing away. It works really well. Major improvement!
by: Joseph 04/30/2020
The Bearing Buddys were exactly as described and shipping was fast.
If you are buying Bearing Buddy’s measure VERY carefully. I bought model2240 based on my measurement and they were too small by .08 inch. I then ordered the 2328 which were a perfect fit.

Contacted etrailer.com by phone and spoke to John H. Extremely helpful and was able to steer me to the right size of bearing protectors that I needed. Will be shopping here again.

See what our Experts say about this Bearing Buddy Trailer Bearings Races Seals Caps
- Trailer Idler Hub That Uses a LM67048 Bearing and Has a 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternThe LM67000LA is a Timken part number for a bearing cone with a 1.250" I.D. and a 2.328" O.D. This is the same as our bearing part # LM67048. The LM67010 is a Timken part number for a race with a 2.328" O.D. that matches our part # LM67010. The only trailer hub we have that uses this bearing/race and has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern is the Trailer Hub Assembly part # DX22XR. This hub uses a LM67048 inner bearing (1.250") and a LM11949 outer bearing (.750"). Unfortunately, we do not have...
view full answer... - Is There A Bearing Buddy That Will Replace A Tie Down Engineering 48399GA Turbo Lube Cap?From what I could find, the Tie Down Engineering 48399GA Turbo Lube cap you have will measure 2.33" at the threads. This is a pretty odd size and, unfortunately, there is not a Bearing Buddy kit currently available to fit this. The closest we have to this size will be the Bearing Buddy # BB2441T-SS (2.441" hub bore) or Bearing Buddy # BB2328 (2.328" hub bore), which is not threaded. The only way we can get a Bearing Buddy for you would be to replace the hubs with something that has a more...
view full answer... - Bearing Buddy Recommendation for Hub Bore that is 2.328 inchesThat would mean that you have a Bearing Buddy designed for a 2.328 inch hub bore and you would need the part # BB2328 as a replacement.
view full answer... - Replacement Dust Cap/Grease Cap For Older Boat Trailer With Cap Measuring 2.312 InchesFor your boat trailer I recommend the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2328 - Chrome Plated (Pair) # BB2328. These are designed to have extra grease and keep water out of your hubs so they can be completely submerged. If you are looking for a standard grease cap, the closest we have to your 2.312 measurement is the Fulton Grease Cap - 2.333" Outer Diameter - Drive In # F001601 which should work.
view full answer... - What Bearing Buddy Will Fit My Inside Diameter Of 2.2925 Inch Hub BoreSince your hub bore is 2.2925 inches The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2328SS - Stainless Steel pair # BB2328SS will work. They fit a hub bore of 2.328 inches. You will want a little room for them to fit correctly. If you do not want the stainless steel option we also have The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2328 - Chrome Plated pair # BB2328. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Selecting a Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector for Utility Trailer with 2-1/3-Inch Hub BoreIn order to select a Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector such as # BB2328 you will need to know the hub bore to the nearest thousandth of an inch (three decimal places), e.g. 2.328-inches. Bearing Buddies come in many sizes and the differences between them can be quite small. Also, some have threads to allow use in threaded hubs. The best way to proceed is to use a precision digital caliper to take your measurement. You can then use the link provided to select a Bearing Buddy kit that has...
view full answer... - Bearing Buddies for a Boat Trailer with 2.308 Hub BoreLosing grease/dust caps or bearing protectors is all too common. It usually happens when caps are not driven in properly. The spinning of the wheel and the centrifugal force then causes the caps to wiggle free and fall out. Given that your hub bore measures 2.308 inches the best match would be a 2.328 model such as # BB2328. It will be a tight fit, which is what you want. To drive them in flush place a block of wood against the Bearing Buddy and tap the wood all around, not just in one...
view full answer... - How to Determine the Right Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector for 2-3/8 Inch Hub BoreTo choose the correct bearing protectors, if available, you will have to measure the hub opening using dial or digital calipers because the measurement has to be as exact as possible. Bearing protectors are measured to the thousandth of an inch (3 decimal places). None of the bearing protectors we carry are exactly 2-3/8 inches (2.375 inches) but # BB2328 and # BB2328SS are the closest at 2.328 inches. The next step up, # BB2441, at 2.441 inches would likely be too big if the measurement...

This race works with bearing # L68149 and has an outer diameter of 2.327 inches. The Bearing Buddy with the closest diameter to this is part # BB2328, which is a chrome-plated pair of bearing protectors that fits a hub bore of 2.328 inches. We also offer a stainless-steel version, part # BB2328SS. You will need to confirm either the outer bearing number from your trailer spindle or take a precise...
view full answer... - What is the Correct Bearing Buddy for Use on 2005 Airstream ClassicYou can determine what type and size of Bearing Buddy to use on your Airstream trailer by taking a look at the current hubs. You will need to know if the hub bore is threaded or not and you'll also need to take a precise measurement of the hub bore diameter using a dial or digital caliper. You'll need to measure to the nearest thousandth of an inch, or three decimal places like 1.781-inches. Once you know your type and size of hub bore you can use the linked page to select those features...
view full answer... - Replacement Bra for Bearing Buddy Bearing ProtectorThe grease in your Bearing Buddy (and the grease behind it inside the hub bore) should have blocked any mud from actually entering the bearings. However, naturally you will want to make sure to remove all the dirt and any contaminated grease from the interior of the Bearing Buddy before re-filling it with your grease gun like # L30416. If you need a new bra for your Bearing Buddy we offer them in 3 sizes: 2-7/16-inch O.D. # BB23B (the original size included with your Bearing Buddy) 2-1/8-inch...
view full answer... - Installing Bearing Buddy Bra # BB23BAs a first step, make sure you are using the correct Bearing Buddy Bra for your application. The # BB23B you mentioned is sized to fit Bearing Buddies that fit hub bores ranging from 2.240 inches to 2.562 inches, or model #s BB2328, BB2328SS, BB2441, BB2441SS, BB2717, BB2717SS, BB2562, BB2562SS, BB2240 and BB2240SS. Applying a very very small bit of grease (I am talking tiny) to the outside of the Bearing Buddy will allow the bra to slide on easier. While sliding the bra into place, any...
view full answer... - Availability of Grease Cap for 2.3125 Inch Hub Bore Diameter The closest grease cap we have available to the 2-5/16 (2.3125) inch measurement you took on your hub bore is the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2328. These are designed to fit hub bores that have an inner diameter of 2.328 inches. This is awfully close to your measurement, but they still might be a bit too large to fit your hubs if your measurement is correct. I just recommend verifying your measurement one more time to make sure you are getting an accurate reading. I have attached...

We do not carry any bras that say Shorelander on them, but Bearing Buddy makes some that would probably work for you.

- Bearing Buddy Recommendation with Outer Diameter of 2-3/8 inchSince you need a Bearing Budddy with an outside diameter of 2-3/8 inches the closest Bearing Buddy we have is the part # BB2328 which has an outer diameter of 2.328 inches. This comes with bras to fit the Bearing Buddies as well.
view full answer... - Correct Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors for 2-3/8" HubThe correct way to find the right Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors is to measure the hub bore with a caliper to the nearest thousandth of an inch. That said, 2-3/8" or 2.375 would match up best with our part # BB2328 which is for a 2.328" hub bore.
view full answer... - Grease Cap Recommendation for Hub Bore of 2.3125Sounds like the part # F001926 would work as a standard grease cap as it is designed to fit hub bores of 2.333. However, this is a pretty short cap at only 1.281 inches. The other solution you have would be a Bearing Buddy like part # BB2328. This is designed to fit hub bores of 2.328. Bearing Buddies are similar to grease caps, except they have a zerk fitting on them that allow the spindle to be lubed easily.
view full answer... - Bearing Buddy to Fit Ranger Tandem Trailer with Hub Bore Diameter 2.296 inYou are between sizes based on what you listed but most likely you need the # BB2328 that you referenced which is for a hub bore of 2.328 inches. The next size down is the part # BB2240 which is for a 2.240 inch diameter bore and is most likely what you tried that ended up falling out.
view full answer... - Determining Which Bearing Buddy Fits Hub With 2-3/8" Hub BoreThere are a few different Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors that are close to 2-3/8" in (2.375") diameter, so I recommend measuring your hub bore with a set of digital calipers like # PTW80157 to get a precise measurement. The available options are the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2328 - Chrome Plated (Pair) # BB2328 which fits hubs with a 2.328" hub bore, and the # BB2441SS which fits a 2.441" hub bore.

Your other option would be to take a look at your outer bearing, as that will also tell you what you'd need. Bearing Buddy # BB2240 fits a 2.240" hub bore and works with 1700 series outer bearings.

The time it takes will be quickly forgotten when you are out on the road and assured that your trailer is safe and not going to cause you problems. Because boat trailers are backed into the water they are subject to getting water in the bearings and breaking down the grease inside. If the boat is backed into the water when the bearings are still warm from transporting the boat...
