Overview
This listing is for one Dexter Trailer Buddy Protector Bra Kit, SKU 17B. The kit includes two black bra-style covers used with compatible Trailer Buddy stainless steel bearing protectors. These covers install over the protector face to help contain small amounts of excess grease, reduce grease transfer onto wheels and tires, and help keep road debris away from the bearing protector area.
R&P Service Insight
Protector bra covers are a simple hub accessory, but correct fitment matters. A loose cover can come off during travel, while the wrong cover may not seat correctly over the stainless steel protector.
- Fit Check: Match the 17B cover to the compatible Dexter Trailer Buddy stainless steel bearing protector before ordering.
- Grease Control: These covers help manage small amounts of excess grease but do not replace proper hub maintenance.
- Inspection Access: Remove the cover periodically to inspect the protector, hub face, and grease condition.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Dexter Trailer Buddy 17B protector bras are used with compatible Trailer Buddy stainless steel bearing protector applications, including the 1791A fitment reference.
Trailer Hub System Fit: Intended for trailer hub protector setups where the installed stainless steel Trailer Buddy protector matches the 17B bra kit.
Installation Notes: Press the cover evenly over the stainless steel bearing protector so it seats securely around the cap. Confirm the cover is fully seated before towing.
Performance Insight: Excess grease from a bearing protector can collect around the wheel and tire area during travel. A fitted protector bra helps contain that grease and helps keep the hub area cleaner.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: Dexter / Trailer Buddy
SKU: 17B

What This Means: This listing is for a pair of Dexter Trailer Buddy 17B bra-style protector covers, not a full stainless steel bearing protector kit.
Before Ordering: Verify your installed Trailer Buddy protector model, hub condition, and included components before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
If grease is repeatedly escaping around the bearing protector area, inspect the hub service condition instead of relying only on a cover. The protector bra helps contain grease splatter, but it does not correct overfilling, seal issues, bearing wear, or improper hub service.
- Check the Protector: Confirm the installed protector is a compatible Dexter Trailer Buddy stainless steel bearing protector.
- Check the Fit: Replace covers that are cracked, stretched, torn, hardened, or loose.
- Check the Hub: If grease loss is excessive, inspect hub lubrication, seals, bearings, and protector condition before towing.
