Trailer Hub Grease Cap, 2.72" - Drive-In for EZ Lube Axles - Qty 1

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Trailer Hub Grease Cap, 2.72"

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this trailer hub grease cap for the EZ Lube axles, and this one is without the rubber plug in it. Now, this grease cap is designed to fit the EZ Lube and Easy Grease trailer hubs that have a 2.72 inner diameter. Now, this one comes without the rubber plug, and actually, it does require a rubber plug on here, that plug we do sell separately on our website, it's part number DC-RP, and it is listed on this product page as a related product. Now, I happen to pull that plug just to show you what this does. But basically, what this does, this grease cap is for the EZ Lube and Easy Grease axles, which are axles that have a grease zerk fitting on the end of the spindle that allow you to pump grease into the spindle.

And I just wanna pop up an insert, there's a picture of what that spindle looks like, and if you look on the end, you'll see that grease zerk fitting. So when this cap is installed on your hub over that spindle, this will allow you to, when you pop out this rubber cover right here, that allows you to put your grease gun onto that zerk fitting, pump grease into that spindle, and then when you're done, just put your plug back in there, so you don't have to completely remove the whole hub and drum assembly to lubricate your wheel bearings. Now, as I mentioned, this rubber plug is not included with this cap, we do sell it separately. Now, the cap itself, I'm gonna pop this rubber plug out, but the cap itself is a 22-Gauge zinc-coated steel construction. Now, it is a drive-in installation.

Basically, when you go to install this into your hub, you put this onto the hub and then you can tap it in place by using a piece of wood over the cap, so you don't damage the cap, and then tap it all the way around evenly, so it'll go into place. Or if you want, we also sell a tool called a driver tool, and it's shaped in the same size of this cap, and it'll go over this and go rest on this ledge, and then you just tap on that metal driver tool, and it'll equally push this cap into there without any damage to the cap. Again, that tool is sold separately, it's part number 290-993. Few specs again, we mentioned the outer diameter, edge to edge, it's gonna be 2.72 inches, and this is for a quantity of one cap. But that should do it for the review of this trailer hub grease cap for the EZ Lube axle without the rubber plug..
