    Tandem axle trailer. I had a bearing buddy come off today going down the road. Anyone know the correct size to buy and put back around bearings that fit tightly inside the hub? Thanks

    Measure your hub where the bearing protector goes, it’s most likely 1.98”. Make sure the new one has a good interference fit and use Permatex high temp RTV on the outer recess of the bearing protector.

    Before you put the new one on, jack the trailer up and give the wheel a shake. A loose bearing can cause a Bearing Buddy to come off on the road.
