Hi Stephen,

Yep! The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS part # BB1980A-SS does work with a CE Smith 13515 hub!

The CE Smith 13515 trailer hub part # CE13515 has a 1.980" hub bore, outer bearing L44649, and outer race L44610 all of which work perfectly with this Bearing Buddy kit.

What kind of trailer are you going to be using the Bearing Buddies on?

They are the best way to grease axles on trailers

These grease hubs were the best thing I ever ordered for my boat,,buy these hubs and save the other hubs for spares

@DaveB Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear the grease hubs have worked out so well for your boat. Keeping the old hubs around as spares is a great idea, you never know when you'll need one!
