Care information
Care information
To ensure optimal performance and extend the service life of your new trailer components, please follow these care guidelines after purchase:
- Before installation, check all parts for shipping damage or missing components. Do not install damaged parts.
- Always use correct tools and torque settings. Improper installation can lead to premature wear or failure.
- For bearings, suspensions, and brake components, apply high-quality trailer grease before first use if not pre-greased.
- Some parts (like brake assemblies) require a short break-in period to achieve full performance. Follow manufacturer instructions for best results.
- Recheck fasteners, grease levels, and moving components after 100 miles of towing, then at regular intervals.
- After exposure to water, road salt, or mud, clean and dry parts thoroughly. Apply anti-rust treatment if needed.
- If storing unused parts, keep them in a dry, sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Product Overview:
Replace worn, damaged, or missing hub caps with the Dexter K71-317-00 E-Z Lube® Grease Cap & Rubber Plug Kit. Designed for compatible Dexter 12" x 2" trailer hub assemblies with 5- and 6-bolt configurations, this kit includes two 2.45" OD chrome grease caps and two matching rubber plugs for servicing both hubs on one trailer axle.
The E-Z Lube® design provides convenient access to the spindle grease fitting through the removable rubber plug, allowing routine bearing lubrication without removing the complete grease cap. The drive-in grease cap fits securely into the compatible hub bore while helping retain grease and protect the wheel bearing area from dirt, moisture, and road debris during normal trailer use.
Each kit includes two Dexter 021-042-01 grease caps and two 085-001-00 rubber plugs. The 2.45" cap size is commonly used on compatible Dexter trailer hub applications in the 4.4K–6K axle range. Because hub and cap configurations can vary within the same axle capacity, verify the 2.45" cap outside diameter and hub configuration before ordering.

2 x Rubber Plug (085-001-00)
