How to Measure for Correct Bearing Buddy Size

Question:
I have a Yacht Club MC14 Motorcycle Trailer. Id like to add Bearing Buddies. Can you help me out with which one to buy? Not sure even how to measure on my own without proper tool to measure since the diameters look so close on list of sizes. This is my trailer: http://www.yachtclubtrailers.com/motorcycle/MC14.php Thanks

You will want to use a digital caliper to measure the inner diameter of the hub bore, where the grease cap sits. When choosing a Bearing Buddy, you will want to choose one that is a few thousandths of an inch larger than the hub bore opening.
I have attached a link to all of our Bearing Buddy parts for you.
