Bearing Buddy - Canadian Distributors

[PolarBear]

Hi guys....<br /><br />I don't know how many of you may be in Canada but I was wondering if some of you might have some information about where to get stuff.<br /><br />I am trying to figure out if/where you can get Bearing Buddy bearing protectors for your trailer hubs in Canada. I just want to go into a store, figure out the size I need and bring them home. If I absolutely have to I could have them shipped from anothr province but I would prefer not to do that. I definitely do not want to order them from across the border, since shipping from the places I was looking at cost more than the bearing buddies!<br /><br />I can't find them listed on the web anyplace in Canada, but that is not unusual it seems - the USA seems to rule the Intarweb around these parts.<br /><br />Anyone seen them? Canadian Tire? Any particular marine store in Ontario? I am out in a rural area and can't afford to run to a dozen places "just checking".<br /><br />Thanks for any help.

If close to border of Minnesota than take a trip to Duluth and go to Northern Hydaraulics. <br /> Made a search for Canada and apparently only Chinese bearings of any kind come up. Sorry.

I would search online for boat trailer parts, or boar trailers, or marine dealers. Then check their website or give them a call.<br /><br />Never mind, I found them at Canadian Tire website. Not sure what brand they are:<br /><br />http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396670125&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474396670271&bmUID=1126079050021&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845 524442405557&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true

Did you try Princess Auto in Kitchener? They often have a complete line of trailer items including bearings, axles, fenders, wheels, chains, rollers, lights....and more and more...

I could not find anything on the CT page even though I looked, but maybe it is because my closest store does not stock them.<br /><br />I never even thought of Princess Auto. They are a couple of hours away, and their web page is pretty useless <br /><br />Thanks for the info, I will try those places if I get a chance to be in that area.

Oops... I meant Kingston. <br />They have lots of locations. It is sort of like rolling the dice if they have -in stock- what you need.... but prices are generally lower than anywhere else. They sell complete axle/hub assemblies as well as all the components to build your own from scratch....bearing buddies (or equivalent) included.

I bet you could ask the local CT store to have a set transferred to your store.

Try Bass Pro in Vaughan (hwy 400 just North of 407). They go by trade name Trailer Buddy & they are in stock or can be ordered via web & shipped. Canadian Tire will transfer to your local store if you ask them.

Don't know if this is too late, but I did just buy a set at crappy tire. I've also seen them at Napa, Lordco and pretty much any other store with wheel parts.<br /><br />At crappy tire, just look around where they sell hitch accessories and they should be hanging there.

Re: Bearing Buddy - Canadian Distributors

"Bearing Buddies" is a trade name for a particular brand of bearing lubricators/protectors. There are several brands of these devices. Certainly an auto parts store or trailer shop would carry one or more of these devices. Also, marine supply stores.<br /><br />

Telephone? You may find shipping costs to be less than travel costs to and from the store.
