Hey, everybody. Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be checking out the TruRyde Replacement Grease Cap Plug. And although these are a small component on your trailer, it's a good idea to to pay attention to them, because they do serve a purpose. You know, if you have the style of grease cap that has a plug in it and lets you get to the grease fitting inside of there, you're gonna want that to stay sealed up and keep contaminants out. Water, dirt, debris, whatever the case may be.
And so, honestly, over time, it just almost becomes a maintenance item. And today on my boat here, we have a perfect example of that. So the current plug that is on my trailer, this is what's happening. It started to kind of balloon out and dry rot, and it's getting ready to let go. And this is probably only about a year old.
You know, I'm in and out of the water lot. The boat is stored outside, so the sun's hitting it, and I just want to get it fixed before, you know, it actually breaks. And you know, these things just pop right out. My cap and everything's in good shape, so I really don't need to replace the whole deal. But, you know, probably the main question you're gonna wonder, "are these going to fit" And as long as the opening here in your grease cap is 1.18 inches in diameter, this will plug in and seal everything up.
And you know, honestly, it's almost a standard size. A lot of the manufacturers, different manufacturers that make this style, you know, these are gonna fit kind of across the board, generally speaking. But it's a good idea to double check to make sure, just in case. But these things just pop right in. And that's really all there is to it.
It's a good, tight fit. Keeps everything sealed up, and hopefully buy me some more time. So, you know, these are sold individually, also as a set. If you wanna pick that up, I'd probably just replace them all, if I'm going through and doing it. But that said, these are pretty standard, you know, they're made of rubber. Like I said, this one I got maybe about a year out of. And what I'm thinking I'm probably gonna end up doing is trying this style out, just to see if there's a difference over time. So this one's made by Deemax, it's silicone and not rubber. So, you know, in theory, my thought would be it'd hold up better against water and stuff like that. But time will tell. It feels well-built. So if that's something you wanna try out as well, this is definitely an option for you. If you do happen to have, you know, your original caps are torn or missing or whatever, definitely not a bad idea to take a look inside of there, right If the grease looks contaminated, or anything along those lines, usually a good idea to go a step further and inspect your other parts in there, because it's really important, you know If you have bearing failure or something like that, you can really chew up a lot of parts or, you know, really cause a hazardous type situation. So yeah, if you notice that, take it apart, inspect it. You know, usually if I run into something like that, bearings and stuff are very affordable, and I'll usually end up just replacing and kind of go through it all. But that's up to you, if that's something you want to do. We carry all those different types of parts right here at etrailer. You can be able to find just about anything you need. But other than that, at the end of the day, if you're looking for a good option as far as a replacement cap goes, this will definitely work out for you.

I have used eTrailer many times. They always have the parts I need for my boat trailer. Fast shipping, good prices. Thank you.
Like others I could not find this product locally, so I went to the internet. Although it was a very inexpensive material, etrailer.com allowed the order to be placed for less than $5 AWESOME!! Other companies would not process the small value order.
Easy finding the odd ball part at etrailer as well
Easy tranasction!
Good communication back of order confirmation
Good communication back of order shipped
Good communication of the order had been delivered
And the product was of great quality and fit perfect.
Got the order in 2 days after it shipped.
I will use etrailer.com for my next parts order.
Thank You

We rely heavily on our trailer to get us to and from quality boating sites etrailer has been extremely helpful keeping us supplied with parts delivered to your door ver nice!
Thanks again etrailer. I really needed those rubber inserts, just in time too. Really appreciate your Co. Every time I turn around those rubber trailer hub inserts are shot. Got the good ones from etrailer now oh yea. Thanks again Mike in Florida.
This rubber cap seals the grease zerk on each wheel bearing of my RV. It keeps water and dirt from contamination of the wheel bearings.
They are economically priced and were quickly delivered!
This is a great product. This part keeps the water out of your wheel bearings great product will always buy my trailer parts from etrailer.
Super fast shipping! Great product! Great price!
It's good to have etrailer.com selling these types of replacement items because my local trailer stores don't carry them. The difficulty with this part is finding it without knowing the part number. I had to call in to the help desk and describe it in order for them to locate it and order it.
Originals dry rotted after a while like most rubber products over time. Replacements were exactly what I needed and extremely inexpensive. Fit perfect and worked like a charm on my BigTex 14GP gooseneck trailer.
Products are great and service was excellent. The packaging for the hubs was too light. By the time they got to me some of the boxes had holes and a couple parts were missing.. Etrailer very promptly sent me replacement parts.
This part was exactly what I needed. I had gone to three different parts houses where I live and no one could help me...they wanted to sell me completely different bearing buddy sets. I found etrailer online and had it in less than a week! Whenever I need parts for my trailer this is where I will shop!
Perfect fit. The description helped me pick the right part/size.
Product appears well designed and made. It fit my wheel hubs perfectly on my trailer. Exactly what I was looking for.
Only issue I had with the ordering experience was the lack of tracking data available after the item was shipped. There was never any delivery date given or means to track the shipment progress. Other than that, the items were received in 1 week in good condition.
I will definitely order from etrailer again.
I looked around at different outlets trying to locate these grease covers and had no luck. I googled and found eTrailer and there they were! The order was shipped immediately as promised and arrived on the date stated. The product fit and quality is excellent. Great service and fast!

After a year on the road Im still fully satisfied with both the product and service from etrailer!
Bought these caps as spares,low price and cheap insurance. They do wear out over time as the covers have a sharp lip. Ez lube spindles are handier than hip pockets.
