How to Pick Out Bearing Buddy Size for Trailer

Published 02/17/2017

Question:

2/16/17...I purchased a trailer #62666/1,195 lb. capacity/12inch tire a few days ago. It sounds like I should start off right by ordering bearing buddies. I looked through comments, but did not see my trailer model number. Do you have a recommendation for model #62666? Thanks,

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 # BB1980A-SS that you referenced are for hubs with a 1.98 inch hub bore.
