The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE2440KIT will work with your 7,000 lb. idler hubs as long as your existing hub features a 2.440 hub bore diameter where cap fits (it should). This kit includes 2 seals that have an inner diameter of 2.25 inches so you will need to for sure verify that as sometimes the spindle diameter for 7k axles is 2.25 inch or sometimes slightly smaller.
