The SBP34BL is a bearing protector and cover set supplied as a pair, designed for compatible trailer hubs. Bearing protectors help maintain grease pressure around the wheel bearings and provide an easy grease-service point, making them particularly useful on boat trailers regularly exposed to water.

How Bearing Protectors Work
- Bearing protectors replace the conventional hub dust caps on compatible trailer hubs. Once correctly installed and greased, the spring-loaded protector maintains grease around the wheel-bearing assembly.
- This is especially useful on boat trailers because hubs can rapidly cool when submerged at a boat ramp. Maintaining the bearing system and seals helps reduce the risk of water contamination.
Suitable Applications
- The SBP34BL is suitable for compatible
- Boat trailers
- Marine trailers
- Jet ski trailers
- Tinny trailers
- Fibreglass boat trailers
- Aluminium boat trailers
- Utility trailers
- Trailer hubs requiring the corresponding bearing-protector size
Important Fitment Information
- Before ordering, measure the hub's dust-cap bore accurately and compare it with the actual SBP34BL protector. Bearing protectors are an interference/press fit, so selecting the correct diameter is important.
- Do not select a bearing protector solely by bearing number, wheel stud pattern or axle size—the hub's dust-cap bore is the critical measurement.
Maintenance Advice
- Bearing protectors are not a substitute for regular wheel-bearing servicing. Periodically inspect the wheel bearings, races, marine seals and grease condition.
- Avoid excessive greasing. Overfilling can place unnecessary pressure on the rear seal and potentially force grease past it.
Signs of Replacement
- Replace the protector or cover if there is impact damage, corrosion, looseness in the hub, a damaged grease fitting, loss of spring action, cracked protective covers or repeated grease leakage.
