It is sized with a 1.99 inch outside diameter and is engineered to fit Dexter 7 inch hubs as well as 10 inch x 1-1\/2 inch and 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch hubs. This cap is sold as a pair, so a single purchase covers both hub ends on one axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeping the grease cap intact and properly seated is a basic maintenance item for trailer hub and bearing service: a cracked, corroded, or missing cap allows grease to leak out and lets water into the bearing race, which accelerates bearing wear and can lead to a failed wheel bearing on the road. Because it presses in without tools, the K71-314-04 is a straightforward replacement during routine bearing repacking or hub service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-314-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.99 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Hub Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 inch, 10 inch x 1-1\/2 inch, 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as a pair (2 caps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Hubs and Bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 876983010486\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDexter 7 inch hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDexter 10 inch x 1-1\/2 inch hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDexter 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hubs does the Dexter K71-314-04 grease cap fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-314-04 fits Dexter 7 inch hubs and 10 inch x 1-1\/2 inch and 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch hubs, with a 1.99 inch outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many caps come in this listing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-314-04 is sold as a pair, so you get two grease caps, enough for both hub ends on one axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the outside diameter of this grease cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.99 inches is the outside diameter of the K71-314-04 grease cap, sized to press into 7 inch and 10 inch Dexter hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a grease cap or a dust cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a grease cap, designed to press into the outer end of the hub and seal the bearing cavity, keeping grease in and contaminants out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the K71-314-04 grease cap weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the Dexter K71-314-04 weighs 0.21 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this grease cap installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-314-04 is a press-fit cap that seats into the end bore of the trailer hub, typically installed by hand or gently tapped in during bearing repacking or hub service; no fasteners are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cap fit a 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch hub with a 4.4K rating and 12 inch hubs?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The larger 10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch (4.4K), 12 inch x 2 inch, 5 spoke, and 6 bolt hubs use Dexter's K71-316-00 grease cap, which has a 2.45 inch outside diameter, not the K71-314-04.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a trailer hub need a grease cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e A grease cap like the K71-314-04 seals the outer end of the hub bearing cavity, retaining lubricant and blocking water and road debris; a damaged or missing cap can lead to grease loss and premature bearing failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the K71-314-04 a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, K71-314-04 is the Dexter part number for this 1.99 inch outside diameter grease cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hub does this cap not fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-314-04, with its 1.99 inch OD, does not fit Dexter's larger 2.45 inch OD hubs (10 inch x 2-1\/4 inch 4.4K, 12 inch x 2 inch, 5 spoke and 6 bolt); those use the K71-316-00 cap instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-314-04 listing includes a pair of grease caps (two caps total).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991263817947,"sku":"DEX-K71-314-04","price":5.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/T-D-81167_lg__12082.1558133774.500.750.jpg?v=1785188534","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-k71-314-04-trailer-hub-dust-cap-pair-1-99-in-od-fits-dexter-7-in-and-10-in-hubs","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
