The rubber plug in your dust cap is cracked, worn, or missing, leaving the center opening exposed. This replacement plug restores the seal to help keep grease in and dirt and moisture out between bearing service intervals.
A cracked or missing rubber plug leaves the center opening of your dust cap exposed to dirt, moisture, and grease loss. Replacing it helps restore the seal so your hub stays protected between routine bearing service.
The removable plug allows access to the grease fitting without replacing the entire dust cap. Pull the plug during bearing service, then reinstall it to restore the seal when you're finished.
This replacement plug is designed for compatible lube-style dust caps used on 2K to 8K trailer axles. Verify your existing dust cap uses this style of removable rubber plug before ordering.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Terran Industries rubber plug for dust caps. Now this rubber dust cap plug is simple, but an important replacement part for your trailer hub. Its main job is to seal the center opening of the hub's dust cap, helping keep grease inside where it belongs while preventing dirt, water and road debris from getting into the hub and damaging internal components, like the bearings. This is designed to fit dust caps commonly used on 2000 to 8,000 pound trailer axles, making this compatible with a wide range of trailers. So, if your current plug is cracked, loose or missing, or worn out, this replacement is gonna make it easy to restore a proper seal without replacing the entire dust cap assembly.
The plug, as you can see here, is made from flexible rubber, which is going to allow it to press securely into the dust cap opening for a snug fit, while still being easy to remove when servicing the hub or adding grease. So overall, it's gonna be in an inexpensive maintenance item that's gonna help extend the life of your trailer hub components by keeping contaminants out and lubrication in. I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
