Thread: I am trying to come up with the name for the bearing protectors I have on my boat now

I looked over what walmart has online. All they have are the cup cover style, except for the Seachoice and it doesn't the plug to protect the zirk.

they could be safe t lube hubs, but on those the zerk is on the end of the axle, what brand
of trailer is it.

That greasing system is part of the axle spindles not the hub....the spindle is drilled for grease alemite and is drilled where the grease comes out and enters the hub behind the rear bearing and forces all the old grease out and the new grease comes thru both bearings......to get that system you will have to either replace the whole axle or have a shop weld new spindles on your axle that are made that way.

Not true G, Vortex makes a hub with the grease fitting in the back of hub between the seal and inner brg. that does the same thing.

Thanks....I did not know that....So he would need a set of new hubs then that that have bearings sized to fit his spindles ?

the ez lube were the ones i was looking at, my vortex have a screw on plastic cap and they came standard on my trailer... BRM may know but they are supposed to have a warranty, think its 100k miles, may only be factory installed though

If his setup has the rubber plugs,the spindles are drilled. Sounds like he just needs brgs. and dust cap,plug and seals.

I thought he was wanting to put this set up on another trailer
