Replaces (1) 1.98" body and cap for Kodiak XL ProLube oil bath hubs. Seals not included.

Today we're going to look at the Kodiak XL Pro Lube Oil Bath Hub Body and Cap for 1.98 inch hubs. Now this part will replace the body and the cap for the Kodiak XL Pro Lube Oil Bath Hubs. Now this unscrews from the body. The cap is a nice clear blue carbonate, polycarbonate cap that you can see in the level of the oil, has a nice rubber oil plug in the middle here. There's a rubber O-ring on the threads. The aluminum body is a nice lightweight aluminum construction; has the threads in it. You just thread that in there, and once you get it threaded down there you just snug it up.
This is designed to fit 1.98 inch hubs which are usually the 3500 pound axle. This part includes the body and the cap. Now the seals for the hub are not included. We do sell those separately on our website, and they are usually listed on this product page as a related product. That should do it for the review on the Kodiak XL Pro Lube Oil Bath Hub Body and Cap for 1.98 inch hubs.

The caps were a direct replacement for our customer and are a perfect fit!!
I purchased 4 of these to do all my bearing on the trailer when they went bad. I have had to us three of them on the same wheel, as it kepts leaking after a couple of months. It is always around the rubber seal in the front of the hub. None of my original hubs have gone bad in that time frame. I need to find a different brand before I get stranded somewhere I can't fix it.
Right part an received within 5 days
They leak at the O ring a bit
Totally satisfied with the product. Had to modify the caps but I'm thinking it's due to the spindle and not a fault with the product. A minor problem with the rubber plug keeps it from being a 5 star

Not good....plug leaks on both sides
Perfect fit for my Coastline Boat trailer. I like the ability to "see" inside. Appear to be water tight. Great product.

So far so good. Saltwater boat trailer and they have been working well. No issues.
This is a replacement for the same hub body and cap whose polycarbonate cap had broken--cracked and leaking. Other than that, these oil-bath hubs have proven fine over the years. A clear, rather than a blue tint on the caps would make viewing the oil level a bit easier.--jg
My boat trailer has been on oil bath for ten years. I will never have a greased trailer bearing again. This product easily converts existing hubs to oil bath. Installed easily and looking forward to smooth operation.
The outside portion of the Oil Bath Hub Body that inserts into the wheel hub, was a bit oversized. Needed a flap disk grinder with a wheel that was not very coarse to take off about 0.010 to get the proper fit. Also, put a thin coating of sealant around this ground area. Sealant helps to visually verify that the Oil Bath Hub Body is fully seated into the wheel hub.
Product works well, however I had to make a puller tool to remove the hub insert (without destroying it) so that the wheel bearings can be accessed. etrailer website is easy to use and the order was processed and shipped as expected.
As far as the product goes it is average at best. These were replaced last spring and were leaking by the fall. As far as etrailer goes they are fantastic, fair pricing,fast shipping and great communication. I would definitely recommend using etrailer.
not at all happy with this product- 3rd replacement of the plastic screw on fill cap in the past 6 months as they keep developing spider web type cracks and leak
to add more frustration am unable to purchase just the cap as not sold seperately for some strange reason - I have also called trying to get someone interested in finding out why the caps keep cracking to no avail. Time to go back to the old grease type hub with buddy bearing hub end cap
A great upgrade to any trailer. you don't have to worry if your trailer bearing are being lubed just a quick glance and you know if the gear oil is half way up the blue sight glass all is well.
I have changed all my trailers over to this system and I highly recommend it,, you will not be disappointed.
We used to love your product. I'm not sure what has happened to quality control or your manufacturing processes, but these caps are terrible. I have had 4 break in the last year. Plastic cap cracks and falls off.
As alway etrailer was very prompt sending the product out. Hubs were packaged well to avoid damage during shipping.
I like these bearing caps they keep lube oil in contact with the bearings and you can easily see if there is water intrusion.
I tried these on my trailer. Unfortunately two out of 4 began to leak in a very short time. I switched over to the Vault System.
Easy to install and it's nice to be able to see the lube level through the end cap.
Excellent option for replacement hub seal. Fit perfectly on my 2004 Mastercraft trailer. The option from another company was $80 each!
We are completely satisfied with the items we have purchased from you. Your shipping is fast and it has been a pleasure doing business with you.

I ordered these for my son’s boat trailer. They are doing just fine.
Great to have a product to replace the old press fit caps on 2003 Mastercrat Trailer.
The ones I bought a year ago are good, one of the two I bought last month is already leaking.

Thank you for reaching out! Something worth checking is making sure the o ring is properly seated as that can cause a leak if its not sitting where it needs to be.
Fit was good. But was only really lookin for replacement screw cap
This product is sub-par. It says 1.98 but when I got it the product was 1.99. It wouldn't fit the hub at all. I do not recommend this product if they can't get their dimensions right.

Sorry that you are having trouble with your cap. They are meant to be a tight fit or they will leak. People usually use a block of wood and sledge hammer to place them. The measurement should be 1.896 inch and it is checked with a micrometer.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Bearings Races Seals Cap?

According to Kodiak, Its more likely that the silver oil bath body is faulty than 3 different caps.
