Hi I do have question about BB2717 and BB2717A . Looks like they both are for same hub diameter . But BB2717 is much nigher in price. What is a difference then ? Like to use them on Kodiak Disc brake kit installed on 7000 l Lippert axle. Disc are 13inch diameter. THX

Hey Milos, the better option is the Bearing Buddy part # BB87SR which is the 2717A which has a couple more features like the blue indicator ring that makes it a little easier to see when it's full compared to the # BB2717.

My husband got them for his trailer. He said they were a little hard to put on but definitely worth the time and the price. My husband is very picky and has extremely high standards so for something to get his 100% approval and that he would put his recommendation on speaks highly of thh product.
