Question:
Which Bearing Buddy kit should I use for a Triton boat trailer? I was given a set of 2 inch grease hubs when I got the trailer but Im not sure they are the correct size.

Expert Reply:
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.
