Bearing Buddy (2) 1.980 Stainless Steel with Protective Bra & Blue Auto Check Feature for Boat Trailer Wheel Center Caps 1980A-SS 42208 (1 Pair)

I have used these since the 1990s they are amazing. truly-- got. cheap on sale Tractor Supply Trailer. fixed evrything on it (new wiring, lights, tire carrier, reinforced frame) these bearing savers replace that stupid metal cap-- no matter the weather I have confidence my bearings wont lock up when loaded- took me less than 10 minutes to install that includes cleaning up and throwing away old parts

For a boat trailer the presence of grease under pressure is important to prevent water in the bearings. Bearing buddy caps do this. They do not have the vent holes the cheaper ones do so they dont sling grease while you drive.

Purchased as a replacement for a bearing buddy that flew off my trailer. Original lasted about 1year. This time I added a couple of steps during install that the trailer company did not. 1- install with wet chromate primer on mating surface. 2- before final seating apply a bead of sealant around the circumference of the mating edge then drive the bearing buddy the rest of the way in. No problems since. Some people drill, tap, and install a set screw. As far as this seller product was as described, good delivery and works well to keep water out and bearings serviced.

Installed them and they both fell off on the highway within 50 miles replaced with cheaper Reese brand no problems since . Seems like phony reviews liking this product

Very easy to put on .. easy to fill with grease.. Great product

Then you put the plastic covers on and nobody knows their stainless but you. Good price on genuine product. We will have to wait see how they hold up from salt water to see if it was worth the extra money for stainless. I have a 2000 trailer and the original non stainless bearing buddies (not sure of the brand) had heavy rust yet they were still working. I just replaced them as I was doing some other trailer maintenance.

This is a nice product. It wouldnt work with my trailer, { my fault,} but I know eventually I will be able to use it.

Nice product for a good price! Fast shipping!

Stainless steel no rust. Pressure relief cannot mess up the seal

I have always used these bearing buddy on my boats. After cleaning and repacking the bearings on my travel trailer,which was an incredibly messy job, one that I didn’t ever want to do again the bearing buddy was the answer.
