Bearing Buddy70017 Bra - Model 17B, Pair,Silver

Unable to identify the manufacturer or model number of my boat trailer bearing protectors, the Bearing Buddy fitment chart provided no help (officially, 17B fits Bearing Buddy models 1781 and 1810).Instead, I measured the outer diameter of my protector with a digital caliper (2.00") and relied on the advice of some other reviewers to determine proper fit. I was glad I did. The instructions on the package advise to, "Simply press the bra on over the Bearing Buddy and you are all set". Not quite that easy, but they WILL fit with a bit of effort. I found that a heat gun or hair dryer helps soften the material while a single drop of dishwashing liquid smeared around the inner lip of the bra helped ease it over the bearing protector. I also used a toothpick, like a tire iron, to stretch-on the last bit of bra around the protector, and to provide an outlet to press out air trapped within the bra prior to toothpick removal. A firm, tight fit was the result... better than too loose.

I lost one of my bras on my boat trailer because I did not press it on far enough and I bought this to replace it. The 17B bra fits my bearing buddies just fine. I am not sure which model BB that I have so I measured the outside of my BB and the opening of the other rubber bra that I have on the other bearing. Both of them were at 2". I used a ruler, not a caliper. I thought that the 19B would be the cap that I needed looking at the product description but I saw reviews saying that the 19B was too large. So, I took a risk and got this one. It was quite tight getting it on the first time. Perhaps it is for a smaller model? Idc because it stretched and creates a nice seal!

These covers prevent water from getting to the dexter EZ lube axle dust cover. This stops that water from getting into the grease area. These fit over them perfectly.

These fit quite snug. Difficult to get on, but I'm confident they will stay on.

Fit good
