EZ-Lube Grease Cap For 5K Dexter Torsion Axle

Question

Question:

My trailer has 5k Dexter ez-lube torsion axles. The studs broke on one goodbye wheel! and when the wheel exited the stage, it took the dust cap? with it. The end of the axle is an open cylinder where the bearing + washers + nut sit, and the cap covers that..so now that grease covered bearing is exposed.. Is that part sold separately? I have pictures - just no way to upload them here... Im guessing my explanation may not be super clear... I need to buy the cap... Thanks!

- EZ Lube Grease Cap # 21-42-1

- Rubber Lube Plug # DC-RP
