• Can Existing Grease Lube Hub Assembly be Replaced With Oil Bath Lubrication
  I would recommend that you install Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, part # 8-219-9UC3, on your trailer. This hub is identical to the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, part # 8-219-4UC3, that you referenced except it is setup for oil bath bearings instead of grease bearing. These hubs have a 2-1/8 inch seal. The Oil Cap Kit, # RG04-270, is threaded and would only work on hubs that are threaded for screw in style caps. This would not work on the # 8-219-4UC3 as it takes press in style caps.
