How to Select the Right Bearing Buddy:

• Pick a genuine Bearing Buddy to match your hub bore. To convert a model number to the hub bore in inches (or dust cap diameter), simply place a decimal point after the first digit in the model number. Model #1980, for example, fits a 1.980" bore hole diameter.
• How to Determine the right size Bearing Buddy?
• How often do I need to repack bearing with Bearing Buddy installed? We recommend inspecting your bearings no more than once every 5 years, as long as you maintain the proper grease level in the hubs and install genuine Bearing Buddy® units with new bearings and seals. The Bearing Buddy® system keeps a steady 3 p.s.i. pressure on the grease inside the hub. With proper maintenance, the hub remains fully greased, eliminating the need for regular bearing repacking. Some customers have shared that their Bearing Buddy® units were removed for the first time after 10 to 15 years of use, and the bearings still appeared to be in excellent condition.
