Question:
I am planning to buy a couple of these hubs for a small boat trailer and would much prefer to use E-Z lube grease caps rather than the caps that come with it. Would the 1.90 outside diameter E-Z Lube caps product #RG04-040 be a good fit? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
For a hub like the Dexter # 34822BX that has a hub bore diameter of 1.98-inches, you'll want to use stainless steel Bearing Buddy # BB1980A-SS. These will provide the best resistance to corrosion and will allow the boat trailer's wheels to be completely submerged. The blue indicator makes it easy to see when you need to add grease.
If this will be your first time using Bearing Buddies use caution when filling them initially. There can be a tendency to over-fill which can cause your inner grease seal to blow out. You'll want to use double-lip seals like # BB60001. These are made to take the additional grease pressure applied by the Bearing Buddy.
