Hello, everybody. This is Jeff etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this drive-in easy lube grease cap with the rubber plug and it's for a 2.44 inch diameter hub. Now this is a trailer hub easy lube grease cap that works on the easy lube axles. And when I say easy lube axles, what I'm referring to is, there's axles that have the grease zerk fitting that's on the end of the spindle. And with that grease zerk fitting, it allows you to pump grease into the bearings without having to remove the complete hub assembly.
So this cap that installs on the end of the hub will have this rubber plug in it. And to access the grease zerk fitting, what you do is just pop out that rubber plug. And this is still installed in the hub. Put your grease gun in there, pump the grease in. Once you get it full, remove your grease gun, put your plug right back in there and now it's all sealed, ready to go.
Keeps any dirt or grime from getting into it. Now, these are designed to fit hubs that have an overall diameter of 2.44 inches, which is the measurement straight across here. So I just wanted to measure that for you, to show you. If we go from one edge to the other is right at 2.44 inches. The height top to bottom, 1.5 inches.
Now, these are designed to fit the 5,200 pound to 7,000 pound six bolt hubs and they are a drive-in style, which basically means you put this onto the hub and then what we recommend is put like a block of wood on top of it and then tap on that block of wood evenly so it'll drive into the hub and stay in place. But that should do it for a look at the drive-in easy lube grease cap with the rubber plug for a 2.44 inch diameter hub.

Yes, unfortunately the grease caps do not typically come with individual labels. The easiest way to distinguish between them will be to measure the outer diameter to determine their sizes.

To choose the correct dust cap you will want to measure the hub bore, not the diameter of the axle. This dust cap is has 2.441 Inch O.D. I recommend to measure the inner diameter of the hub bore with digital calipers part # PTW80157.
