What Bearing Buddy Will Fit Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258BTUC1  

Updated 04/27/2011 | Published 04/25/2011

Question:

I am purchasing the Dexter Trailer Hubs P/N 8-258BTUC1 from etrailer.com. Customer service told me that the size of the bore hub is 1.986 inches. Will the Bearing Buddy protectors 1980 fit without being too loose? They are .004 inches smaller than the bore hub. Will this be a correct fit or will I have a problem with the Bearing Buddies working loose and falling off?

Expert Reply:

I went out to the warehouse and did a test fit between the hub, # 8-258BTUC1, and Bearing Buddies, # BB1980A. The Bearing Buddies, though they are 6 thousandths of an inch smaller, will still fit tight in the hub bore. Bearing Buddies have to be driven in by putting something like a block of wood on the top and hitting the wood with a hammer. The wood disperses the energy from the hammer more evenly.
