You can determine the correct Bearing Buddy for your 1991 Lil Rider boat trailer by checking the part numbers on the existing outer bearing and race. I have attached a photo showing where these parts numbers are typically found. Trailer manufacturers do not necessarily use the same components on all production runs so a check of your existing parts is called for. You can search our site with the bearing number to find the appropriate Bearing Buddy.

An alternative method for identifying the correct Bearing Buddy for your trailer is to take measurements. You need to measure the inner diameter of the hub bore. This is best accomplished with a precision digital caliper. You can then choose the next size Bearing Buddy larger than your measurement.

I have provided a link to our page for bearing protectors where you can select the appropriate parts based on your measurements. I have also linked an article concerning trailer bearings that may be helpful.
