It installs into a trailer hub with a 1.980 inches (50.29 mm) inside diameter, where it seals against the outer bearing cone and race to protect the bearing pack from moisture intrusion. A spring-loaded piston inside the unit maintains a steady 3 psi of pressure, which holds grease in and keeps water and dust out while preventing the hub from being overfilled or overpressurized, a condition that can otherwise damage the inner seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue visual grease indicator on the face of the unit shows lubrication level at a glance: when the hub is properly filled with grease, the indicator extends about 1\/8 inch out from the retaining ring; when it sits flush or recessed under the ring, it is time to add grease. The body is manufactured from carbon steel with a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance in freshwater environments, and the internal components are stainless steel. Installation is done by measuring the hub bore or dust cap opening with a caliper to confirm fit, then tapping the unit into place with a wood block and hammer; no special tools are required. This unit is designed to work with outer bearing cone part numbers L-44643, L-44649, and L-44640, and outer bearing cup (race) part number L-44610. It is sold as the bearing protector only, without the rubber protective bra\/cover accessory. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bearing Buddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome-Plated Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Bore Inside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.980 inches (50.29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Outer Bearing Cone:\u003c\/strong\u003e L-44643, L-44649, L-44640\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Outer Bearing Cup (Race):\u003c\/strong\u003e L-44610\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrease Indicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue visual indicator, extends 1\/8 inch when full\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 psi, maintained by spring-loaded piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 x 4 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650209422020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits trailer hubs with a 1.980 inches (50.29 mm) inside diameter, used with outer bearing cone L-44643, L-44649, or L-44640 and outer bearing cup (race) L-44610.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are specified for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hub does the Bearing Buddy 42202 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bearing Buddy 42202 fits trailer hubs with a 1.980 inches (50.29 mm) inside diameter.
