How to Pick Out Replacement Grease Caps for EZ Lube Spindle Grease Cap

You will want to use a dial caliper or micrometer to measure the inner diameter of the hub you have on your trailer to determine what size cap would be needed. Check out the picture I attached that shows this measurement being taken on a hub.
