Recommendation For Fitting 2.047" Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors On Hub With 2.045" Measurement

Question:

I have bearing buddy 2047 and it is slightly to large. My calipers are measuring 2.045 in. on the hub and dust cap. Is there a slightly smaller size or a way to make the 2047 fit?

You should be able to make your Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB37SR fit by placing them in the freezer. The cold temperatures will cause the steel to shrink slightly but they will likely have to sit in the freezer overnight to ensure they get cold enough.
