How to Determine Which Grease Caps are Needed for Starcraft Starstream Tent Camper
Question:
I have a 1988 Starcraft Starstream tent camper. Can you tell me what size chrome grease cap I need to purchase for this camper?

Expert Reply:
I don't have any reference material that would tell me what grease caps your tent camper used, but I can explain how you can determine the proper size.
If you're speaking of a standard grease cap, we offer them in a zinc plated finish that's fairly shiny but couldn't be called chrome. To determine which one you'd need, you'll need to measure the inside diameter of the hub bore where the cap would install. this measurement would need to be very accurate, so a digital caliper should be used. A ruler or measuring tape wouldn't provide a high enough degree of accuracy. Or, if you could provide the reference number from the outer wheel bearing, I can determine the correct size.
If you wanted to use a Bearing Buddy like part # BB1980A-SS, you'd measure as indicated above.
If you could reply with the hub bore diameter or the reference number from your outer bearing, I'd be happy to make some recommendations for you.
