You can determine which size Bearing Buddy bearing protectors you need for the hubs on your 1989 Braco enclosed trailer by measuring the hub bore with a precision caliper like # PTW80157. It is best to measure the hub, not the grease cap, since the hub's dimension will remain steady, while a grease cap could become mis-shapened from the force of removing it from the hub. you need to measure to three decimal places, such as 1.234-inches.

Once you know your hub bore diameter you can use the linked page to select matching diameter Bearing Buddy protectors. For the popular 1.98-inch size, for example, we offer four options, parts # BB1980A-SS, # BB1980A, # KREB1980AC and # BB1980T-SS.

You will want to note whether your hub's bore is threaded or not; we offer Bearing Buddy protectors for both types.
