Long embarrassing story put aside I need one of these on the long weekend. Marine places in the Comox Valley are closed tomorrow, Lordco doesn't have it, Canadian Tire doesn't have it. Any advice as to where I could get one tomorrow (Sunday)? Three days off and buddies that want to fish and I'm the dumbass that broke my trailer. Wish I had Bearing Buddies instead. Would be willing to make road trip to Campbell River or Nanaimo tomorrow for the right part.
Oil Bath Bearing Cover Replacement on the long weekend?

Why not grease your bearings and put a normal dust cover on or a bearing buddy, will get you thru your fishing plans then you just clean it off after replace the seal .
Just a thought.

What size do you need-is it for a 6 lug wheel-6500 or so trailer-12 inch backing plate. I have spares and will lend you one if they fit. PM me I'm in comox-I also have a smaller size now that I think of it.

This happen to me recently too. I am told they come off a bit more often than they should. When u find where to buy them, buy two so a spare is in the boat.

Actually the screw in ones are pretty "reliable"-they never just fall out-they have to be hit-either by a rock or backing into something. One or 2 extra's is always good insurance-in 8 years of long range travel I have never had to use one. I talked to a gentleman from the forum last year who thinks he lost his to a rock while underway on the highway. Needless to say if the oil goes you don't have much running time. I also carry a standard hub pre-greased with new bearings and seals-ready to go!!
