A little over a year and still working. Just make sure to use a torque wrench when installing them. I set my torque wrench to 20 lbs and then I gave a tiny snug. It probably ended at XX lbs.

Make sure to use the torque wrench. It is extremely easy to over-tight these caps and you wont notice it was over torqued after a few months later when they crack between the thread and the cap.

Product works great in our sawmill. Great company, fast shipping!

two months after a simple order is way too late and a poor performance on Etrailer.

Perfect is all I can say about this product. Exact match and extremely easy installation. Cannot say enough about the ease of ordering and fast delivery from etrailer. Will certainly be a returning customer.

Yes, these items are still performing as expected no issues what so ever.Thanks for checking in.



by:

Pretty good product.
I'd purchased 4
of these for my 4-car Wally-Mo car trailer and so far, they seem to have been doing the job. They haven't yellowed or cracked and I am sure I have over 120,000 miles on them for the year they've be on.

By the way, service from etrailer was good. Delivery was in a timely manner and followup to the purchase was surprisingly thorough.



by:

Great product and fast service. I will be back I have other trailers and I have told several or maybe even many people about you. Thank you so much These were mostly bearings and seals for a heavy trailer so I don't have any pictures. Take my word for it though with them



by:

Exact replacement for Dexter 15,000 lb, oil bath axle plug. Part # matched on the rubber plug with the one that was torn, I needed to replace. 15,000 is not very common size, so it was hard to find locally, but etrailer had it!!



by:

this is a great deal on trailer axle oil bath caps and it shipped to us quickly.great deal



by:

Good product, I like to keep a couple of these on hand just in case. Occasionally mishaps occur, my fault. somebody else's fault, nobody's fault but sometimes these caps get broken (a rock?) or if not torqued well fall off and that can be bad news. The last ones I got have been on the axle for a few years and are holding up well. I bought two more just as backups because I know they'll stay on and won't leak.



by:

The new cap was a perfect match to the leaky one. Two very small ridges (mold marks) could be felt across the o-ring sealing surface, so a few light strokes with a 3-corner needle file smoothed them right up. I did this same thing on another axle two years ago and it’s still dry and clean.



by:

Fit perfectly. On dexter 12,500 axle.

Product has no issues. Perfectly made. I gave bought several items and I am happy with the service and customer service. These guys and gals are awesome. I will be buying more stuff. Gotta keep it on the DL from my wife. Haha



by:

The oil bath cap that I received was a perfect fit. It screwed right on and fits tightly. I strongly advise those installing this type of cap to obtain the properly sized socket in which to tighten it, i e, a large set of vise grips or similar tool.



by:

I have purchased from etrailer.com several times now, and I have been very satisfied with my purchases from the price, the prompt shipping etc. etrailer.come is my first choice and where I start my search for anything I need for my trailers.

My first experience with oil bath hubs, I was told to keep a couple of these on hand. These are a great value and fit perfect! I would like to be able to buy the O-Ring, but couldn't find it on the website.

One of the simplest, best looking improvements you can make to your trailer. Recieved mine in 4 days, standard shipping.



by:

Grease cap works fine, quality seems good, price was fair.



by:

The CSR was very helpful, suggested the right shipping option. The part was delivered on time and exactly what I needed. I would order from e-trailer again, thanks.

Product fit perfect. Product has actual part number visible in photo. Comes with all parts needed for easy exchange. Super product.

  • Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for 15,000 Pound Axles
    Although I do not have an option to retrofit your hubs I do have a solution. What I can offer is a complete replacement with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for Heavy-Duty 15K Axles # DX78QR. If you're just looking for replacement races, bearings, and seals we have those available as well. This hub uses an 8 on 275 mm bolt pattern. It would also require switching to oil bath from the grease. In addition to the hub and drum assembly, or for replacement bearings and seals, you would...

    Thank you for the pictures and information of your axle! I called Dexter and your Dexter P12 SLR axle with Serial Number D-423-4057 has a 9000lb axle rating, and uses an 8 on 6-1/2 hub and drum assembly with 5/8" studs like you mentioned. For replacement bearings there is not a kit that has all of the bearings and races but you can purchase them all separately as follows: Inner Bearing # 387A Inner Race # 382A Outer Bearing # 25580 Outer Race # 25520 Oil Seal # 10-51 And Oil Cap Kit...

  • Replacement Oil Cap for LCI Oil Cap
    Thank you for the photo of your two oil caps which differ in their depth. The deeper cap on the left appears similar to our part # RG04-250. The cap on the right appears to be part # RG04-270. Please refer to the linked video for part # RG04-250 for key dimensions. I went to our warehouse to measure this item too and its overall exterior depth is approximately 2-3/4-inches.

  • Replacement Hub Seals for Dexter 12,000 lb Axle
    For your Dexter 12,000 lb axle the seal you are looking for based on my research is the # 10-56. It has an inner diameter of 3.125 inches and an outer diameter of 4.5 inches. This will work well for oil or grease. If you are needing the other seal for an oil bath, you would also want the Replacement Oil Cap Kit for 9,000-lb to 15,000-lb Dexter Axle # RG04-270 which comes with the cap, o-ring, and rubber plug.

  • Looking for Oil Cap to Replace Dexter 21-17
    I have been unable to find a replacement for a 21-17 Oil Cap (even on Dexter's website), but if you'll use a digital caliper to get the dimension of your hub bore, I'd be happy to continue looking for you. The measurement needs to be precise, a ruler or measuring tape wouldn't be accurate enough. I'll also need to know if your hub bore is threaded.

  • How to Determine if the Oil Cap Kit # RG04-270 Would fit Hubs
    The Oil Cap Kit # RG04-270 that you referenced is designed to fit the following axles: Dexter 9K (after 10/1989), 10K GD (2-piece drum), and 10K to 15K Dexter axles. You will need to confirm that you have one of those axles to know if the # RG04-270 would work for you. There should be a plaque or sticker on the frame of your trailer near the coupler that should list what axles you have. There might also be the same on the axles themselves for you to determine which one.

  • Is there a Trailer oil Bath Hub Oil Cap for a Dexter 6,000 Pound Axle
    The 21-36 oil cap, # RG04-270, fits 9K (after 10/1989) and 10K GD (2 piece drum), and 10K to 15K Dexter axles. The 21-35, # RG04-230, fits 6K to 8K ( and 9K before 10/1989) Dexter axles. It would be too large with its 2-7/8 inch thread diameter. All of these oil caps are for oil bath hubs. If you are replacing a dust cap, you probably have regular hubs. For bearing protectors measuring 2.441 inches, go with the stainless steel bearing Buddies, # BB2441SS, or, if the hub is threaded, #...

It uses the same Outer Bearing # 25580, Inner Bearing # 387A and this will use the Oil Seal # 10-51 which is the same 2.875 inner diameter as your grease seal.

  • What is the Torque Rating for Trailer Hub Oil Cap Kit # 21-36
    There isn't a special wrench that we carry for oil caps such as # RG04-270. But you probably won't need one because the manufacturer recommends to install the caps to 20-30 foot pounds. You might be able to get to that by hand. Otherwise some channel locks could work. Just be cautious to not over-tighten.

However, we do carry the direct replacement for your Dexter Oil Cap Kit number K71-148-00, the Redline # RG04-270, which includes the cap, gasket and plug and is designed for 9K-15K Dexter Oil Bath Hubs like # K08-288-90.

  • Trailer Hubs Leak Oil After Installing New Seal
    If you have oil leaking from the rear of the hub then that would indicate you either have the wrong size seal, you are over torquing the spindle nut, or you just have too much oil. I recommend you use the serial number on the axle that way you can reach out to the manufacturer to confirm you have the correct size. The spindle nut on most axles will be torqued down (Usually 50 Ft. Lbs.), backed off, and then tightened hand tight. There should be a fill line on the oil cap to go off of. If...
