Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Grease Cap, 1.988" OD Drive In

Today, we're going to take a look at the trailer hub driving grease caps. These have a 1.988 overall diameter. This part is for a quantity of two of them. These grease caps are used for your trailer hubs. They're commonly used on 3500 pound axles. These are made of a 22 gauge steel construction.

They are a drive-in installation. They have a corrosion resistant zinc plating to them. This is for a quantity of two. The two important measurements will be the flange diameter which is the overall diameter from this edge to this edge. If we put a ruler on that, it's going to come out to about 1.988 inches. The overall height from the bottom to the very top, that's going to be right at 1.156 inches.

That should do it for the review on the trailer hub driving grease caps with the 1.988 overall diameter, and it's for a quantity of two.

@Eddie Thanks for the feedback!

Overall experience with Paula with my over the phone ordering experience was fantastic. Unfortunately, none of the caps fit with my application. All were ever so slight too large.



by:

Their just grease caps that cover your spindle nut, nothing special

Easily installed by driving into hub with scrap wood and hammer.
Affordable, relatively quick repair completed in between snow storms.
Thank you again eTrailer!

Worked great for my 1980 Bolens HT-20, thanks



by:

I'm very pleased. The item was shipped and received quickly, and the diameter of the dust caps' diameters measured exactly what they were nominally listed as (1.98"). They were also cheaper with etrailer than anyplace else, in my online search.

I ordered the wrong size. I just tried to install them, and found that the bore is substantially larger. I have a Haul Master trailer from Harbor Freight. Do you have the right grease caps?

Thanks for the response, unfortunately we can not cross reference the grease cap you would need based on trailer manufacturer. But to determine the correct size you would need to measure the inside diameter of the hub opening to determine which cap size is needed, preferably with a precise measuring device like dial calipers. You would want to choose a cap with an outside diameter that matches the inside diameter of the hub.


by:

Does the job!



by:

Thought these were right for the 3500lbs. drop axle with the EZ lube hubs but they were just a hair too big, had to bend the flange in a bit and then beat the hell out of 'em but they work. My old dust covers from my old axle were not deep enough and the EZ lube grease zerks would hit the inside of the cap.



by:

I replaced all the bearings races seals and brakes on a small travel trailer. Bill P.at etrailer took my order and three days later I had everything in my hands. Great job Bill ! All the parts were exact replacements and the install went very smooth. There is video help on their website to show how to make the install easier. I have been dealing with etrailer for several years and have never had a bad experience. I was completely blown away by the pre assembled brakes . Backing plate, shoes, actuators, self adjusters and wiring all ready to bolt on. How much easier can it be? With the best prices, fast shipping and great help on line etrailer is the way to go.



by:

Used these on a homemade flatbed reusing an old camper axle from the 50's the numbers on the old bearings did not cross to anything current, fortunately E Trailer has the specs online a few measurements with a caliper and you are in business. Thanks E Trailer

I was having a hard time finding this item and I am glad I looked on line.

Very well, My trailer is used on a weekly basis and this item has keep my trailer in road ready condition



by:

Can't say enough good things about etrailer knowledge, service and speedy delivery. It's a regular encyclopedia for trailer parts. Ricky knew exactly what I needed, me being a first-timer on wheel bearing replacement and repacking. These grease caps took some pounding (with a rubber mallet) but went on my 8-91A Dexter hubs nice and tight without a dent.



by:

Fit nice and snug



by:

Well made. It gives a finishing touch to wheel hub. It is better than the hammered cover from previous owner.



by:

Replaced the existing caps that had access to the grease fittings with a rubber grommet for a cover. I don't think greasing the bearings from the end of the axle is the way to go. I took some steel wool and roughed up the outside and painted them with black paint to match the hub.



by:

Both caps flew off my trailer on the freeway. Had to get something different.



by:

I ordered new wheel bearing kit’s, extra cotter pin’s and hub end cap’s because one fell off going down the road. All the parts were right and came in good condition I just installed them part yesterday everything went really good and easy. Thank you for having all he parts I needed.



by:

The grease caps had a very snug fit on my trailer, so it took a lot of tapping to get them on, but that is a good thing. The old grease caps were apparently loose enough that one fell off. Great product, thank you!



by:

Have them for about a year, no issues. Bought multiple for extras. True to size. I did need to lightly tap into place. I advise to buy a cheap micrometer to measure your original caps for proper sizing. Will buy again when needed.

  • Replacement Hub Components for Hub 9606020
    While the # L68149 most likely corresponds to the inner bearing number of your hubs. If this is the case, you have either a 3.5k or a 4.4k axle. In order to know absolutely sure, you need to know the corresponding outer bearing number or the inner and outer diameter of the grease seal. You most likely need to wipe away the grease in order to reveal the outer bearing number. In order to accomplish this, I recommend using calipers like the 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157.

  • How to Measure a Trailer Hub or Dust Cap to Find the Right Replacement Dust Cap
    You can measure either the outer diameter of the part of the dust cap that fits into the hub OR the inner diameter of the hub where the dust cap goes using calipers such as # PTW80157. Calipers are needed because the measurement has to be as accurate as possible. I also might be able to figure it out based on the outer bearing number which you should be able to see without taking the hub off.

  • How to Measure a Trailer Hub for the Correct Size Grease Cap for a 1993 Coleman Pop-up Camper
    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 to two or three decimal places, I'd recommend using a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 so that you can be confident you are...

  • Looking for Grease Cap With OD Slightly Larger than 1.98 Inches
    The next largest size is # RG04-040 which has an OD of 1.99 inches. If you can provide me with the reference number from your outer wheel bearing, I'd be happy to check into the availability of a suitable grease cap.

  • Replacement Bearing Kit With Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors To Replace Triton 07994-P Kit
    The Triton kit 07994-P is going to contain the same parts as 2 of our Bearing Kits # BK1-150, Grease Caps # RG04-020, EZ Caps # RG04-040 and a Grease Tube # L11390. Their kit appears to use the same TRP bearings and races as our kit. Since you are looking to switch to the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS you will be able to use them with 2 of our Bearing Kits # BK1-150 and Grease # L11390. You will need a Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the hubs through the Bearing Buddy units....

  • Replacement Grease Cap for 1195 Haul-Master Trailer From Harbor Freight
    Your 1195 Haul-Master trailer should have a BT8 spindle which means you need the kit # RG04-020 for standard caps, the kit # RG04-040 for EZ Lube caps, or the kit # BB1980A which is the Bearing Buddy kit with the auto check in place. Attached is a video for you to check out.

  • Replacement Grease Cap For Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer
    Bearing Buddies aren't something really needed for the MegaSport so I'd just go with the replacement caps, the Grease Caps # RG04-020. As for how to lube, it's best to use a bearing packer like # PTW1218. I have also added a link below to a help article which goes over the best way to do so.

  • Bearing, Seals, And Caps For A 2008 Bear Boat Trailer
    Hi William, It looks like we have everything except for the grease seal. Could you measure the spindle for the inner diameter and hub bore hole for the outer diameter one more time to confirm? The Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100 has the correct bearings and tang washer but uses a 10-19 grease seal # 58846 (ID: 1.719" - OD: 2.565"). For the grease caps you can use part # RG04-040 for easy lube spindles or # RG04-020 for standard spindles.

  • Disc Trailer Brake Kit Recommendation for a 1997 EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    With 13 inch wheels, you will need a different set up to add disc brakes to your boat trailer. For the brakes, I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10 Inch Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver Cad, # K2HR35DS for inner bearing and race L68149 and L68111, outer bearing and race L44649 and L44610. These are designed for 13 inch wheels and the silver cad finish provides superior corrosion resistance for marine applications. Your wheels will need to have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

  • Replacement Bearing and Seal Kit for a Dexter 8-248 Idler Hub
    The Dexter 8-248 is a 3,500 lbs idler hub which uses the # L44649 outer # L68149 inner bearing and a 10-19 grease seal. For bearings/races/seals, you'd need the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and Al-Ko Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle item # BK2-100. If you need replacement dust caps, use item # RG04-020 for a standard spindle (sold in pairs) or item # DC200L-DCRP for an E-Z Lube spindle which is sold individually.

  • Correct Replacement Grease Caps for Malone Kayak Trailer
    I don't know exactly what the correct replacement grease caps are for your trailer but the highest capacity I'm aware of is 1,000 lbs in the Malone MegaSport which uses 2,000 lb axles therefore would need the Grease Cap, 1.988" OD Drive In part # RG04-020. If you are unsure of what you have, best option is to just measure the inner hub bore or the outer grease cap diameter and then choose from the list below if the above is not a match. Please note, you need a caliper to measure as they...

  • 2.44 inch Diameter Dust Caps for Trailer Bearings on a Coromal Van
    We carry the TruRyde Grease Cap, # F001520, that should work for you, but you will need to make sure that the depth of the cap will work with the existing hubs on your Coromal Van. The depth of this cap is 1.03 inches, so as long as the spindle on your van does not protrude more than 1 inch beyond the face of the hub this grease cap will work for you.

  • Replacement Disc Brake Kit For Tie Down Engineering 46845 Disc Brake Hub
    I can recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DKG to give you a new disc brake setup. Your Tie Down Hub 46845 is only a 9.6" diameter rotor and the 10" is the current size available. Your hub uses a Inner Bearing # L68149, Outer Bearing # L44649 and Grease Seal # 168255TB. The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DKG will require 2 of the Inner Bearings # L68149, Outer Bearings # L44649 and Grease Seals # 168255TB to mount on your TDE axle. You will also need the Standard Grease Caps # RG04-020,...

  • Recommended Bearing Kit With L44649 Bearings As Well As Grease Caps For Marine Application
    I recommend you get two bearing kits # BK1-150 along with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980T-SS - Threaded - Stainless Steel (Pair) # BB1980T-SS. These are made specifically for marine applications. If you want regular grease caps, you will want # RG04-020. These are 1.988 inch outer diameter and the closest to the measurement you gave that we carry with the exception of the Bearing Buddy Caps.

The outer bearing is # L44649, which measures 1.063 inches. Its matching race is # L44610. You can also purchase a grease seal set, # BB60002.

The seal on the other hand is an odd size. There isn't a bearing kit that has the seal that you need and it is an odd size that we do not carry. But it is readily available at auto parts stores.

  • Are Trailer Axle Grease Caps Waterproof
    A grease cap like # RG04-020 is primarily intended to keep grease inside your hub bore and keep contaminants like dirt out. They are not totally water-proof by any means but they certainly do provide a degree of water-resistance. Mostly what keeps water out of your hubs is the full level of grease inside them. That is why folks like EZ-Lube spindles since they make it so much easier to ensure your hubs' grease level is always full.

  • Replacement Dexter 8-248 Hub, Races, Bearings and Grease Seals For Boat Trailer
    The Dexter 8-248 is a 3500 lb idler hub which uses the L44649 outer/L68149 inner bearing and a 10-19 grease seal. The bearings cross reference to the A4 and A17 bearings you mentioned and the 10-19 seal cross references to the 171255 seal. For bearings/races/seals, you'd need the # BK2-100 kit. For a replacement galvanized hub (which is what you'd want to use on a boat trailer), use # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. The races are pre-installed, which is a good thing because installing the races...

  • Bearing Buddy Grease Cap for Hubs on Box Trailer
    When you re-pack a hub with fresh wheel bearing grease you do not need to also pack grease into the interior of the standard grease cap like # RG04-020. If you packed the bearings by hand or used a packing tool like # ALL647646 the bearings themselves will have a good amount of bearing grease and there would be no way for any grease put into the grease caps to get into the bearings. This is why there are Bearing Buddy grease caps like # BB1980A-SS that have a zerk grease fitting with a...

These are especially helpful on boat trailers, since they seal out all water, dirt and debris and allow for complete submersion. I've attached a brief video review of the Bearing...
