In order to ensure we get you the correct Bearing Buddy for your trailer, I need know the pilot hole measurement of your hub. To measure, simply 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 so you will need to pry off the cap.
Clean the grease off and measure the opening. You will need to be precise, so I recommend using a caliper like # PTW80157. Once you have that measurement, you will be able to choose the correct Bearing Buddy from the attached link.
