Dexter Trailer Hub Dust Cap with Grommet, Super Lube, K71-G01-71
The Dexter K71-G01-71 is a dust cap with grommet designed for use with Super Lube style trailer hub and bearing systems. It seals the hub cavity to keep dirt, water, and road debris out of the wheel bearings while the integrated grommet allows grease to be added through a Super Lube fitting without removing the cap. This makes routine bearing lubrication faster and helps extend bearing life by reducing the need to disassemble the hub for maintenance.
It is intended for trailer hub and bearing assemblies and is a straightforward, low-cost part to keep on hand for scheduled maintenance or as a replacement if a cap is lost, cracked, or worn out.
