Question:

Can I install bearing buddies on a 2017 Rockwood minilite 26ft camper? I am repacking the wheel bearings next week. We are preparing to take a 7,000 mile trip to the east coast from Colorado Thanks Rd

Hi Robert; you can install bearing buddies but you will need some more information. More specifically, you need your hub bore diameter. One of the most common sizes is 1.98" which would use the # BB1980A-SS. If you have a 1.781" hub bore then the # BB1781 you were looking at would fit. This is a precise measurement so it is best to use a digital caliper # PTW80157.

I went ahead and attached a link below to all of our Bearing Buddy bearing protectors below for your reference which can be filtered by hub bore diameter.

The axles are dexter torsion flex. Does this make any difference?

@Robert it does not make a difference unless they are EZ Lube axles. If they are, you will have to remove the grease zerk from the end of the spindle to install the Bearing Buddies.
