Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I read a QandA on your site: My cap measures about 1.975 and the expert suggested a 1.968, this may be too loose? I replaced the bearings with NAPA brand and the outer bearing was a BR4, Inner a BR17 and the seal was a 17146. Can you please give the part number for the correct bearing protector?

Expert Reply:
The closest Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors we have to matching the 1.975" inner hub bore diameter you measured are part # BB1968 for Chrome or # BB1968SS for Stainless Steel (rust resistance). As you mentioned in your question these are designed to fit a 1.968" hub bore, so it doesn't match your dimension exactly but it's close enough to fit and work great (this is a difference of just 0.007"). The hub bore is going to be tapered as well which will further seal this cap in place.
I have attached a short video review on this product that you can check out as well.
