Recommended Replacement Bearing Saver for Reliable Sure-Lube Axle

Published 03/11/2020

Question:

I have a boat trailer that lost one of its sure lube bearing savers. I bought the correct replacement Curt bearing protector 1.98 diameter but the inside diameter is too small and is hitting the castle but and cotter pin.

The Reliable Sure-Lube Axles/Hub have been discontinued for quite some time now so exact replacement parts are hard to come by. That said, we do have an option for you in the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB1980A-SS. I went out to our warehouse and measured the inner diameter which is 1.8675" so you should be able to use this info and determine if it will clear the castle nut on your spindle.
