Question:
I have a few customers with this setup and think that a bearing buddy seal would be a cost effective way to repair these trailers. The bearings are l44649. The outside diameter of the seal is 1.98 and the inside of the seal is 1.5. I do not see any kits available with these specs. The bb60005 kit lists the l44649 bearing and a od of 1.98 on the seal but the id is too small. Is there a kit available for a 1.0625 axle and a 1.5 id seal? Elsewhere on your site someone suggested that the bb60005 does have a 1.5 id but i do not see that in the spec sheet.

Expert Reply:
If your customers are blowing out their grease seals most likely that is due to too much grease being pushed into the hub. Using a Bearing Buddy Seal like the part # BB60005 would give you a grease seal that is more reinforced than a standard one, but a regular seal would also work just fine.
The # BB60005 has an inner diameter of 1.375 inches and an outer diameter of 1.980. Since you are looking for a seal that has an inner diameter of 1.5 in you would want the part # 10-9 if the outer diameter you need is 1.987 or # SL150 if the OD you are looking for is 2.332 in.
