Video Transcript for Grease Cap, 2.72" OD Drive In with Plug Review

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the EZ Lube Grease Caps with the Rubber Plugs for a 2.72 inch diameter Hub. This is for a quantity of two caps. Now, these are trailer hub EZ Lube grease caps for the EZ Lube axles. And when I say EZ Lube axles, what those are, those are the axles that have the grease Zerk fitting on the end of the spindle.

And with this cap installed, it allows you to grease your bearings without having to remove the complete hub assembly. Basically, all you have to do is remove this rubber plug, and that'll lets you gain access to that Zerk fitting on the spindle. Put your grease gun on there, pop it full of grease, and you're all ready to go. And then when you're done, remove your grease gun, put your cap right back on, and it's all sealed and protect it. Now, these are designed to fit hubs with the overall diameter of 2.72 inches, which is the measurement here.

And I just wanted to show you that, if we put a caliper on this, you can see if we go inside the inside, it's gonna give you a reading of right at 2.72 inches. That's the diameter of the hub that it'll work on. They are designed to fit the 5200 pound to 7000 pound eight bolt hubs, and they are a drive-in style. You just put those on them and then tap them into place. And this is for a quantity of two caps with the rubber plugs.

But that should do it for the review on the EZ Lube Grease Caps with the Rubber Plugs for the 2.72 inch diameter Hubs.

This is one of those times where I really needed to stop and take the time to write a review. If you look at the pictures you will see that I have a tri-axle trailer and I had no paperwork on the brakes when I bought it from the original owner. So I call e trailer and I get Cathy T on the phone. I ask her if trailers are her specialty and she says "sure they are" I said ok great lets dig in but I don't know what I have but I told her I did have a caliper to measure. So after about an hour on the phone she questioned me enough to figure out the front and rear bearing AND race sizes, the seal size AND the replacement break assembly kit to use. I never once felt rushed and she was awesome !! There was a lot to ask about to make sure we got it right and guess what Cathy T NAILED IT. Check out the picture of the parts on the bench. Every part was exactly what I needed. It all worked out perfectly and I can not say enough good things about my experience with e trailer and Cathy T. If you EVER need help with a trailer E Trailer is the ONLY place to go. The price is incredible and the service is even better. What an awesome organization. Thank you E Trailer and Cathy T

Product is working fine. Does everything that it should and was designed for



by:

The product delivered was extremely late. Just a few grease caps and waited well over a month for them. What a joke. I would not recommend etrailer to buy your trailer parts. Just support your local trailer shop so you know what your getting and have it in your hand.



by:

I received the grease caps in a timely manner and they have worked great. Unlike the ones previously purchased locally, these have stayed on the trailer for over a year now. They are also a lot easier to install than the dome caps, these have the ridge around the base to press them on. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a quality product

The grease caps are still working great. I still have the extras I bought just in case one came The grease caps are still working great after a year or so. I still have extras I bought just in case one came off. Great product and excellent service.



by:

These were easy to install replacements for my dump trailer. The old ones were bent & leaking from being smashed by my backhoe.

Still working great....Holding grease with no leaks. The caps I took off were flinging grease all over as I drove down the road. To this point, the trailer is clean with the new ones!



by:

These were a perfect replacement on our dump trailer at a much more reasonable price. I didn't see any difference in quality between these and assemblies at double the cost. Next time I need trailer parts I will probably shop around, (that's just what I do) then go to etrailer.com to buy.



by:

It is nice to know of a.company that will work with you. I ordered 4 bearing dust covers for my trailer and they were too big. I called them on the next business day and the sent a return authorization number and reordered the correct ones no issues or hassle. I highly recommend them for trailer parts. The person I spoke to was very polite. I will send another review when I receive the correct dust covers



by:

I had ordered some parts online to rebuild the suspension on one of our trailers. Customer service called me a short time later to inform me that they were out of stock on some items, they asked if it was possible to substitute some items. She was able to find the exact parts I needed in a different kit. The parts came within 3 days, very well packed, and they fit perfectly! This is the 3rd time I've ordered from etrailer and they have exceeded my expectations every time. EXCELLENT customer service and quality parts.



by:

Exactly what I was looking for to make my recently acquired trailer a bit more owner friendly. Being able to pop the center cap out of these hub caps and apply grease to the wheel bearings without pulling the hubs/brake drums is a big plus.



by:

Just received my order of new backing plate assemblies and some misc small parts. Ordered on line late Sunday night, confirmed I had ordered the right parts Monday morning before shipment went out. Customer service by phone was superb and the gal I talked with was perfect. Shipment was on my porch Friday afternoon. I did open box and inspect shipment that arrived completely intact/good shape and all looked good at this point. Not sure when will get to the brakes on the trailer but will post again when the job is done. So far nothing but good to say about Etrailer.com. Regards, John.



by:

Ordered the parts by phone. Melissa was highly knowledgeable and extremely professional. Would recommend eTrailer to anyone that needs trailer parts or trailer hitches.



by:

What is pictured (and is what my current caps look like) is not what I received. However, it fits so I'm not going to complain. The one I received is a dome-like affair and not squared off like the ones in the picture.

Does it matter? That's up to you. Me? I prefer my stuff to look the same; especially as I plan on selling my trailer.

Yes, it does matter! You should get the part that you ordered, for sure. I have already sent your information to our customer service team and they will be in touch with you.



by:

The two sets of axle grease covers/caps I'd ordered arrived promptly and fit the axles perfectly. The website was easy to order from and provided good product lines to choose from. The product item videos were of great assistance. Thanks



by:

Every part fits like OEM and the prices are very good! Love buying from etrailer.com, they are the best and if you have questions they HAVE the answers.



by:

I damaged parts on my trailer and I order replacement parts not knowing I had submitted the order twice. The good people of etrailer had a question about my order and went out of there way to contact me to see if I still wanted the two order of the same thing. I really appreciate there helpfulness. Etrailer Thank You.
I will be ordering parts again from them.



by:

We bought several things in the last few days to rework a trailer, everything bolted up and worked. The price is great, the quality is good and they were delivered quickly to our front door. It's the only place to look for trailer parts . The trailer is on the road today.



by:

Fits and works as intended. Only issue the item I received is more rounded, not like the photo and the oem parts.



by:

Great product at a great price.



by:

AAAA++++ always top-notch



by:

I needed to replace a dust cap on a 7000 pound 2 axle PJ trailer. Perfect fit and finish.



by:

Works great.



by:

These fit as described, but you get what you pay for. The metal is very thin, distorting while installing them. The rubber plugs that come with them are also thin. Would not recommend this particular item.



by:

Bearing caps were a perfect fit for my Titan trailer.



by:

I like the fast delivery of your products, I run my trailers hard and need a dependable supplier of parts. Thank you again and I will be ordering again as service price are what is important James

  • Comparing 21-43-1 and rg04-120 Grease Caps
    The # TRU46FR and the # rg04-120 are both drive-in style grease caps with a 2.72" outer diameter. However, the # rg04-120 comes with 2 grease caps and also includes the plugs. The # 21-43-1 is a single grease cap and the rubber plug # DC-RP is not included.

  • Replacement Brake Shoes and Drums for a 2013 Keystone Montana Mountaineer with Dexter 7K Axles
    The correct replacement brake shoes for a 2013 Keystone Montana Mountaineer with Dexter 7,000 lb Nev-R-Adjust Braking Assemblies is going to be the Replacement Shoe and Lining for Nev-R-Adjust 12" x 2" Electric part # K71-675 for the left hand side or part # K71-676 for the right hand side. That said, we also offer the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-464-465 which will save you some work.

  • Recommendation For Bearing/Races/Seals Replacement Kit For 7,000-lb Lippert EZ-Lube Axles
    I contacted Lippert to confirm bearing sizes and it sounds like your 7,000-lbs axles have an outer bearing like Item # 14125A and an inner bearing like Item # 25580 and a 10-36 seal. Based on this information, I recommend the replacement Bearing Kit, Item # BK3-200, which includes bearings, races, grease seals, and cotter pin. For hub grease caps, I recommend Item # rg04-120. The dust caps are sold separately so if you need them I recommend the Rubber Lube Plug, Item # DC-RP. If these...

  • Comparing Dexter Hub and Drum Assemblies 8-285-11 and 8-393-4UC3
    You will experience some reduced braking power when using the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-393-4UC3 with 12-1/4 x 2-1/2" brake assemblies compared to the # 8-285-11 with 12-1/4" x 3-3/8" brake assemblies. Between the two I recommend going with the # 8-285-11 along with bearings # 25580 and # 02475, grease seals # RG06-070, lug nuts # 6-53, and grease caps # rg04-120. For brakes I recommend the self adjusting braking assemblies # 23-434-435. Since you mentioned your axle does...

  • How to Pick Out a Grease Cap for a Dexter 8k Axle
    You would need to measure the inside diameter of the hub opening to determine which cap size is needed. You would want to choose a cap whose outside diameter matches the inside diameter of the hub. Some of the most common sizes are 1.980 inch, 1.986 inch, 2.441 inch and 2.717 inch. As you can see the sizes can differ by very small amounts. To measure accurately you may want to get a dial caliper so that you can be confident you are getting the correct size for your hub. I have included...

  • Could Cap of Dexter Hub # 8-219-13UC3 be Replaced with EZ Lube Cap
    Yes, you could replace the dust cover/cap of the # 8-219-13UC3 with an EZ lube style cap and you'd basically have an EZ lube hub as that's the only difference. For that you'd only need the # rg04-120 for a pair and you'd be set.

  • Disc Brake Conversion Kit For 2005 Keystone Montana
    Hello Alan. We do have a disc brake conversion kit available that will work on your 2005 Keystone Montana. I recommend the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1. This is a full conversion kit so you get your hubs, rotors, calipers, brake pads, brake lines, fittings and electric over hydraulic actuator. Everything you will need to convert your drum brake axles over to EOH disc brakes. The hubs are for 7K axles and they have the 8 on 6-1/2" lug pattern....

  • Can the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit HSE7K- TR1 Be Converted to Oil Bath?
    I spoke with HydraStar and their Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers # HSE7K-TR1 can be used as oil bath, but they do recommend using standard grease. This is due to when oil bath hubs are left sitting for a while, it will pool at the bottom of the hub. Grease will stay coated on everything and provide better coverage. The problem with these typically being used with grease will be the cap. This will use a cap like the Grease Cap, 2.72" OD Drive In with Plug - Qty 2 # rg04-120...

  • Grease Dust Cap Recommendation for Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2HR712
    For hubs that have 8 wheel studs and 7k capacity like the part # K2HR712 the grease cap size needed is 2.72 inch so you would need the part # rg04-120.

  • Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly With 2.72" Diameter Grease Cap Flange
    It sounds like you're looking for a hub and drum assembly that can use the # rg04-120 grease cap that fits a 2.72" grease cap flange. Grease seals for a 5,200-7,000 lb axle have a 2.125" or 2.25" inner diameter and a 3.376" outer diameter. The Dexter # 42866UC3-EZ matches your capacity, bolt pattern, and uses a 2.72" grease cap. As long as your current setup uses a # GS-2250DL grease seal with a 2.25" inner and 3.376" outer diameter this will work as a replacement.

  • Bearing Buddy Recommendation for a Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ
    The replacement cap for the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 42866UC3-EZ that you referenced is Trailer Grease Cap part # rg04-120. The bearing buddy that will fit as a replacement for the # 21-43-1 would be the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2717SS.

  • How to Pick Out Replacement EZ Lube Grease Cap for Trailer Hub
    You will want to use a dial caliper or micrometer to measure the inner diameter of the hub you have on your trailer to determine what size cap would be needed. Check out the picture I attached that shows this measurement being taken on a hub. I attached a link to all the grease caps we offer, once you know what size you need check out the link I attached to see all the sizes we offer. If the dimension you find is 1.986 you'd want # 21-41-1, if you have a dimension of 2.441 you'd want...

    The Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit # HSE7K-T1 you found is the correct kit for your 2022 Forest River Cedar Creek 345IK. I was able to verify your spindle through the Dexter axle numbers provided. This kit makes it easy as it includes the rotor/hubs, calipers, actuator, bearings, seals and brake lines you will need. You will be able to reuse your current grease caps other wise we have the Pairs # rg04-120 of which you would need 2 for both axles. It appears your Cedar Creek has hydraulic jacks...

Larger grease caps are also available, such as part # rg04-120 which is 2.72-inches in diameter. I pulled a sample of the Phoenix USA QuickTrim Trailer Hub Cover # PXQT545BHS that you referenced.
