Camco 50053 Wheel Bearing Protector Review

I had to modify because my bushings are smaller. these were the smallest i could find so i finished them off with stakes and they are now ready to go on the trailer.

Years ago I was a firm believer in wheel bearing protectors. All it took was a wheel bearing fire leaving me on the side of the road for me to believe. Every trailer I own has this wheel bearing protector.

I thought it was too cheap so I ordered a set. Install my bushings the way they should and run like a champ. I have others and they are just as good for a lot less money so I ordered a different set for a different pendant.

I lost one after towing a car trailer down a jeep trail, hit by a tree or something. They remain in place even after being removed and reinstalled multiple times. No need for expensive branded stainless steel grades that fall off.

I put mine in the freezer for a couple of hours before attempting to install. I hammered them in with a hammer and a block of wood to protect the bearing cap. Make sure they are fully seated, lubricate them until oil comes out of the drain hole, then rode 200 miles with no problems. Includes bumpy gravel road and 75 mph interstate. I bought these new ones for less than I could put new gaskets in my old ones.
