Dexter Rubber Plug for Oil Cap, Fits 6 Bolt and Utility Hubs 2-5/8-12 Thread

This rubber plug is the replacement plug for the oil cap on Dexter trailer hubs, sold individually to service the oil-fill opening on the hub oil cap. It seals the fill port on Dexter 6 bolt and utility hubs, and is sized for the 2-5/8 inch-12 thread oil cap used on those hubs. This plug is one of the components included in the Dexter Oil Cap, O-Ring & Plug Kit (K71-747-00), which also includes an O-ring and the oil cap itself, so it is a straightforward way to replace a lost, cracked, or worn plug without buying a full new cap assembly. Keeping the oil cap plug in good condition helps maintain a proper seal on the hub, which supports correct lubrication and helps keep water and debris out of the bearing area. Because it is made of rubber, it seats snugly in the cap opening and can be removed and reinserted for periodic oil level checks or topping off. This is a genuine Dexter part, so it matches the fit and thread specification of the original equipment cap rather than requiring a universal or adapted plug.
