Finding Grease Caps For A North Star Trailer - 2" Is Too Small. 2-1/16" Is Too Big.  

If the Bearing Buddies are not the correct size or are not driven in straight then they can fall off due to the centrifugal force when the wheels spin. To ensure you get the right size you can go by the bearing numbers of the hubs or measure the hole…

The best size match we have for a 2.035" hub bore is the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part #BB2047 which measure 2.047". It's possible they will work but these trailer don't really use industry standard parts so there's a…

Harbor Freight trailers don't use standard trailer axles so replacing the hubs gets challenging so replacing the axles would be the way to go. I'd need the distance between the spring centers of your current axle as well as the distance from…

The #168233 Double Lip Grease Seal has an outside diameter of 2.332 inches and an inside diameter of 1.688 inches. This seal is not compatible with a AF2527E seal with a O.D 2.312, because, even though the O.D. id very close, the inner diameter of…

Great question. There is not a bearing buddy that fits any size between the 1.980 inch and the 2.047 inch options. I've linked the page to all the options. There is not a way to shim them to fit either, so your only option is to replace the hubs…
