they are not "Bearing Buddy" but similar, they have a little rubber cap on hub and when you put new grease in, it forces old grease out, so that you will have new grease on bearings. Just can not remember what they are called, any help ?

What do you need Larry? New rubber plugs for it ?
Do they have the cup that fits over the hub or the grommet that fits in it?
need set for another boat trailer, complete set
rubber plugs in the center that you pop out to connect grease gun to them
"rubber plugs in the center"
That will help in the search.

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 ?Quote:

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

You can get bearing protectors at walmart.....just measure the size of your dust cap and buy protectors the sames size and remove duct cap and drive the bearing protector in in its place. I bought some the other day and put on my camper.

(Dia. Were the dust cap fits inside hub )
Don't overfill. You will blow out the rear seal and cause more problems than you solve.

Don't buy these. 1.98" Wheel Bearing Protectors, 1 Pair
The plate that the zirk is screwed into is plastic. If the zirk fitting on your grease gun hangs on it you'll break the plastic getting it off. I greased the bearings on my camping/kayak trailer, broke one of the plates. Replaced them after we got home.
Wouldn't be hard to convert an old hub to this, if you have the tools. Could install a pressure relief fitting on the old dust cap.Quote:

Look at amazon or ebay (bearing protector) for all the brands and replacement plugs. The plugs may or may not interchange.
I found all plugs interchange but UFP has the best ones. They are a heavier rubber and don't crack. Dexters are the worst.
Must be why Dexter's comes up first with a 10 pack of replacement plugs.Quote:
