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 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...

  • Which Bearing Buddy Fits 5,200 lb Dexter Axle
    For your Dexter 5,200 lb hub the Bearing Buddy part # BB2441SS is the correct fit. Installing it is pretty easy. Using a flat board and a mallet you'd lightly hammer it into place.

  • Which Bearing Buddy Will Fit a 2 5/8 Hub Bore
    The hub bore of 2 5/8, or 2.625, is kind of an odd size. It puts you in between the Bearing Buddy # BB2562SS, which fits a 2.562 inch hub bore, and the Bearing Buddy # BB2717SS, which fits a 2.717 inch hub bore. That being said. the # BB2562SS is not a common size and is used mostly for agricultural applications. The # BB2717SS is going to be your best bet, but may require a little sanding of either the part of the hub to get everything seated properly.

  • 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...

  • Bearing Buddy for 2-3/8" Grease Cap
    A measurement of 2-3/8" is equal to 2.375" and there are a number of bearing buddies that are close to that measurement. In order to determine the exact replacement you need, you'll have to use a digital caliper such as # PTW80157 and measure your hub bore for the exact measurement. 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.

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Correct Grease Caps for an Axle Equipped with a Grease Zerk
    It sounds like you have an EZ Lube type of spindle, that has a grease zerk on the spindle. You are correct that the standard grease caps do not provide the proper clearance for this style of spindle. With the bearing numbers that you provided I was able to determine that outer diameter of the grease cap that you will need is 1.986 inches. Then the correct grease cap fitting for your is the TruRyde EZ Lube Grease Cap # RG04-040. These grease caps have a removable rubber center portion...

  • Bearing Buddy Sizes for Replacing Grease Cap on Utility Trailer
    I would first recommend getting a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to measure the hub that the Bearing Buddy will be pressed into. This will insure that you have a correct fit.

  • What Size Bearing Buddy to Replace 2-7/16-Inch Grease Cap
    The best way to measure hub bore to determine which Bearing Buddy size you need is with a digital caliper. If you do not own one you may be able to borrow or rent one from a local auto parts store. Your other option is to obtain the outer bearing number from your trailer. You may be able to obtain the bearing number without having to pull it from the spindle; try wiping it clean of grease to see if the bearing number can be read. The size you quoted, 2-7/16 inches, corresponds to 2.437...

  • Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors For a Hub Using L68149 Bearing and L68111 Race
    The Bearing # L68149 and Race # L68111 are the common sized inner components for a 3,500lb axles. The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441SS will fit a 2.441" hub bore which is the closest size we have to the 2.361" race. If this bearing and race are the inner components you will most likely need the Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS that fits a 1.98" hub bore. You can also use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to verify your exact hub bore to ensure you get the correct Bearing Buddy for your...

  • Recommended Solution to Protect Bearings From Water on Boat Trailer
    The Kodiak # XLPROLUBE2440 is designed to replace the body and cap for a Kodiak XL ProLube oil bath hub. Since you are using grease and have a Dexter axle, it sounds like you have an EZ Lube axle with a zerk fitting for adding grease and a grease cap plug on the end. Assuming that is the case, you do not want to use the # XLPROLUBE2440. Instead, I recommend adding Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like the # BB2441SS or the threaded # BB2441T-SS. These are specifically designed for marine...

  • Are the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors BB2441SS Threaded
    The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2441SS are not threaded. These are simply pushed into place. If you need this same size but that are threaded then the part number you're looking for is # BB2441T-SS instead. Same specs and still stainless steel, just with a threaded portion for the installation.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • What Parts Needed When Replacing Disc Brake Rotors # KHR12D on Boat Trailer
    When replacing the disk brake rotors on your trailer it is recommended that you also replace your bearings, races and seals at the same time. This will ensure that all components are new and in good order and will prevent the need to dismantle your trailer again to replace an older part that may wear out before others. The bearing kit for this rotor is part # BK3-100. I have included an article that covers the process of replacing bearings, races and seals on a trailer hub. The Kodiak...
