Question:

does the center cap have a hole for greasing spindle bearings? Or do you have to remove the wheel for greasing. If center cap has no access hole, can i swap center caps for ones that do have a hole?

I'm happy to inform you that you will not have to remove your wheel for greasing the spindle bearings on your RV when using the Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Tire and Viking Aluminum Wheel, part # A15R45FPS.

The center cap of the wheel has a removeable top cap that is specifically designed for use with EZ lubing and greasing of your bearings. Simply remove the top cap, grease your bearings, and put the cap back on.

This wheel's cap is part # CXF106C. I've included a video review of this cap so you can get a better feel for what part it plays in the wheel and tire combination you chose.
