Replacement Grease Cap Rubber Plug and Tips on Driving In Dust Caps/Bearing Protectors
Question:
Can you get another one of these? Mine is cracked the rubber plug and so it leaks a bit. The cap itself seems fine, and I cannot get a set of bearing buddies on the hub at all I got a set for 1.98inch hub diameter grease cap size and they will not hammer in, unless I used a LOT more force than I am willing to try. A new rubber plug would be the next step on this job...

Expert Reply:
If the hole in the dust cap is 1.18 inches then you could use replacement rubber cap # DC-RP. For a pair use # RG04-010.
Bearing Buddies can be hard to drive in. What you can do is use a block of wood and hammer it and it will evenly distribute the force of the hammer blows to seat the Bearing Buddy properly.
