Question:

I have a 2002 Ranger Comanche trailer with Cool Hubs. I have lost the cap. Can I use a Bearing Buddy cap and still fill with oil, or will it leak out of the Bearing Buddy cap?

Expert Reply:

If it's a threaded Bearing Buddy then yes it would be able to keep oil in like with the # BB1980T-SS which fits a 1.98 inch diameter, part # BB2080T-SS which fits a 2.08 inch diameter or the part # BB2441T-SS which fits a 2.441 inch diameter but if it was a press in style Bearing Buddy I wouldn't rely on it to be able to not leak.
