Push the nozzle of the grease gun onto the grease fitting in the center of
the bearing buddy. Pump the handle of the grease gun several times to fill the
bearing buddy, and then install the dust cap.Bearing buddies are grease-based
protective covers that go over the bearing of a wheel on a boat trailer. They
are there to ensure that the wheel bearing is
always covered in grease. In order to service or replace the wheel bearings on a
boat trailer, it will be necessary to remove the bearing buddies from the wheel
hub.
Make sure your work area is properly prepared. Lay sheets of paper towel on
the ground to set the bearing buddies when they are taken off of the wheel hub.
The bearing buddies will be full of grease and will need to be placed on a clean
surface.Place a small block of wood against one side of the bearing buddy and
strike it with the hammer.Set the block of wood on the opposite side of the fag bearing buddy and strike it with the hammer
again.
Repeat the previous two steps to slowly work the bearing buddy away from
the wheel hub. This is a slow process but will not damage the bearing
buddy.Place a small pry bar or screwdriver under the bearing buddy and pry under
it. The bearing buddy should then begin to slide off of the wheel hub.Pull the
bearing buddy off of the hub and set it on the paper towel.Repeat the previous
five steps to remove the bearing buddies from the other trailer wheels.
The video is correct. The diagram is more for identifying the parts and
their basic placement. The o-ring actually is supposed to ride on the spindle
but can actually fit through that stainless steel koyo bearings when not on the spindle. So basically, you will
slide on the stainless steel ring first then slip the o-ring on. The grease seal
will install in the back of the hub just like you would normally do with a seal.
You would then install the hub.
When selecting bearing protectors the measurement needs to be as accurate
as possible so you will need to use dial calipers. We have a digital set we use
here for precise measurements. Since 2.24 is too large and 1.98 is too small the
size in the middle is 2.08 like # BB2080. It looks like you are needing the bra
for a bearing protector. We do not carry any bras that say Shorelander on them,
but Bearing Buddy makes some that would probably work for you. Part # BB17B are
2 inch diameter, and the # BB19B are 2-1/8 inch in diameter.You would need to
measure the outside diameter of your "buddy bearings"
protector to determine which bra is the correct one for you.
Bearing Buddy does specify that the Bearing Buddy Threaded Bearing
Protectors, part # BB2080T-SS, will fit the Reliable oil bath unit that has a
2.080 hub bore size and is on many of the EZ Loader trailers. Bearing Buddy
recommends using Permatex or another grease proof gasket cement when installing
a threaded Bearing Buddy.The plastic caps for the Bearing Buddy bearing
protectors that you are looking for are the Bearing Buddy Bras. We carry three
different bras, # BB17B, # BB19B and # BB23B that fit different ranges of
Bearing Buddy sizes. You should choose the Bearing Buddy bra that will fit your
model bearing buddy. The model numbers that these bras fit are listed on the
product page.
