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.

  • How to Pick out Bearing Buddies
    In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the pilot hole of your hub. To do this, remove the wheel and tire and remove the grease cap from the center of the hub. Usually it is a metal cap that is just lightly hammered into place. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cap. Clean the grease off and measure the opening. I have included a video demonstrating the Bearing Buddy. The Bearing Buddies # BB2441 that you referenced are for hubs with a 2.441 inch hub bore. I can't...

  • When Using Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Do I Need To Repack Bearings Periodically?
    When you use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like # BB2441, so you do not need to take apart the wheel hub and repack the bearings. The Bearing Buddy Protectors have a spring loaded seal that keeps the moisture and debris out of the bearings. This pressurized grease will maintain bearing function as long as the seal on the hub stays functional. If this seal is broken, I recommend inspecting and repacking good bearings when you replace the seal. As you maintain the grease in the...

  • Correct Electric Brakes for Dexter SLR P-16 6,000 Lb Trailer Axle
    I spoke with Dexter and they were able to confirm this is a 6,000 lb axle so for a compatible brake assembly I recommend the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-105-106 which works with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. If you don't already have the wiring in place then you'll also need the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box part # 277-000141.

  • 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...

  • How to Order The Correct Bearing Buddy Size For A 1998 Homemade Trailer
    If you will remove the wheel on your trailer and pull your wheel bearings and get the outer wheel bearing part number that would help you with which Bearing Buddy to use. The reason you have to go to such lengths to find out what Bearing Buddy Kit you need is that there are so many different variations in bearing/spindle/seal combinations that the only way to be sure you have the right part is to check the equipment you have. The Bearing Buddy pages also have listings on them for what...

  • Which Bearing Buddy is a Fit for 5,200 lb Trailer Axle
    Hey Joe, it looks like you ordered the bearing kit part # BK3-300 which is for a 5,200 lb axle hub. So for a Bearing Buddy the correct part number is the # BB2441.

  • Should Bearing Buddy Actually Move When Adding Grease to Know when to Stop
    It's actually very easy to over fill trailer hubs with grease with Bearing Buddies so I would not recommend continuing to add grease with yours as you'll most likely blow out the seal and cause bigger problems. If you've added a couple shots already I would either leave it as-is or pull the hub and repack it by hand.

  • Do Bearings Need to be Repacked With Bearing Buddy
    There is no need to further re-pack the bearings with the Bearing Buddies like the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2441 - Chrome Plated (Pair) # BB2441. So long as you maintain the grease levels, repacking the bearings isn't necessary, like you mentioned. You'll just add grease, and they have an automatic pressure-relief feature to prevent overfilling, as grease will seep around the edges when they are full. In regard to the correct fit of Bearing Buddies on your trailer, while...

  • How to Grease Hubs With a Bearing Buddy Installed.
    When repacking your bearings, you do not want to have the whole hub filled with grease. You basically just want to get the inner and outer bearings and their races greased up and moving smoothly. I attached a video of the process that should help you out as well. If you are using a Bearing Buddy, like the # BB2441, there is actually an automatic pressure-relief feature built into the Bearing Buddy. When it is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This...

  • Do Trailer Wheel Bearings Need Repacking if Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Are Used
    Technically speaking, once the bearings are initially packed, you shouldn't need to repack them. I'd still recommend breaking the hub down occasionally to inspect the bearings and races to make sure everything's in good condition.

  • Correct Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors for 1996 Ranger 461 Boat Trailer
    In order to determine which Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors you need you will need to measure the diameter of the hub bore on your trailer. I recommend using a digital caliper like the # PTW2993 in order to get an accurate measurement. Once you have this measurement you will be able to select the correct Bearing Buddy. For example, if you found that you had a 2.441" hub bore you could use the # BB2441. I have attached a picture showing where you need to measure, along with a link to all...

  • How to Find the Correct Bearing Buddy for a Ranger Trailer
    That is a great question and in order for both of us to find the answer you're going to need to use a digital caliper like item # PTW80157 to take an accurate measurement of your Ranger trailer's hub's bore. There's no database I can look at that will tell me what's on a trailer made recently let alone one from 1989 so I am sorry I can't just give you a part number. The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors item # BB2441 are designed to fit 2.441" hub bores, which are commonly found on 4,400...

  • How Often Do Seals Need to be Replaced on Bearings with Bearing Buddies
    The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441 provide premium protection for your wheel bearings. It is still recommended that you inspect the bearings, races, and seals every 12 months or 12,000 miles to ensure reliable performance on your trailer. Seals are typically designed to last the lifetime of your trailer but may need to be replaced for a number of reasons. If the seal is no longer round or the rubber seems to be dry rotted, the seal will have to be replaced. Removing the grease...

  • Bearing Buddies for a 6,000 Pound Dexter Axle with 8 Lug Hub
    Check the outer bearing and race numbers stamped into the metal of the bearing and race in the hub. Most 6,000 pound 8 lug wheels we carry use outer bearing # 14125A if it is an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. If it is an 8 on 8 bolt pattern, it may use # 506849 outer bearing. If you have the 14125A outer bearing, you can use Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors, # BB2717SS, or # BB2717.

  • Does Bearing Buddy Replace Bearing Packing on Trailer Hub
    With Bearing Buddies it is still recommended that you pack the bearings by hand. The Bearing Buddy can only push grease through the front of the hub which can be helpful but does not take the place of packing the bearings properly by hand. I honestly am not the biggest fan of the Bearing Buddies only because it is too easy for people to over fill their hubs with grease which eventually blows out the seal like you mentioned.

  • Recommended Grease/Dust Caps for the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR526D
    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. The advantage of the Bearing Buddys over the EZ Lube is that the Bearing Buddys give you an easy way to add grease and...

  • How to Remove Bearing Buddy Trailer Bearing Protectors
    Bearing Buddies like # BB2441 fit very tight into a trailer hub. In order to get them out, you will need to use a rubber mallet and persuade them out. Once the Bearing Buddy starts to unseat from the hub you can grab it and wiggle it out.

    We may have something that will work, though to confirm the right Bearing Buddies you'll need to measure the hub bores on your trailer's hubs using your digital caliper, and match the hub bore diameter to the correct Bearing Buddies. For example, the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2441 # BB2441 and Model 2441T-SS - Threaded (Stainless Steel) # BB2441T-SS fit a 2.441" hub bore and based on the measurements you gave these are pretty likely to fit your hub.

These are designed to fit hub bore diameters of 2.441 inches to allow for easy maintenance while also keeping dirt and water out of the hub.

  • Can Air Escape Trailer Hub Seals When Filling with Grease with Bearing Buddy
    Grease seals are not air tight so the air would be able to escape as you fill the hub up. They are tight enough to keep the grease in though. Grease does breakdown over time so you do occasionally need to add more. The grease seals are also not totally sealed. They do a pretty good job sealing but in general contaminants can still find there ways in.

  • 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,...
