Hey Elias, thanks for reaching out!
We have the parts # 290-991 and # 290-992 that you referenced, but the 290-993 for 2.72" OD Hubs was actually discontinued back in 2023 which is why you are having a hard time finding it.
You can use a rubber mallet and a piece of wood to safely drive the hub dust cap in place without damaging it. I know it doesn't give you the exact tool, but it's a good alternative using tools that most people already have.
Do you have a handful of different trailers?

Hey Elias, did you try using the rubber mallet and wood method to install your hub dust cap? I'm asking because it could be a helpful tip for others facing the same issue.
