Question:
Looking for 1.78” bearing protectors with extra depth inside. I have an older trailer and when the bearing buddy 1.78” bearing protectors are installed the axle is touching the grease zert and compressing the spring completely. An additional 1/4” would be adequate. Do you have an option that is deeper?

Expert Reply:
The CE Smith Bearing Protectors part # CE16270 which are our longest/deepest bearing protectors are about 3/16" longer than the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB1781. The CE Smith are 2" and the Bearing Buddy's are 1-13/16".
I have attached a review video I did on the CE Smith Bearing Protectors below.
