The replacement rubber caps for EZ Lube hubs are # RG04-010. These are the lube plugs for 1.18 inch dust cap holes in those EZ Lube Grease Caps. These are the equivalent of the 85-1.

If you need a different size dust cap, we only have what comes with the complete grease cap. We have Grease Cap, 1.99" OD EZ Lube Drive in with Plug - Qty 2 # RG04-040, 2-1/2" Lubed Dust Cap and Rubber Plug - 2.45" x 1.52" x 1.18" - Qty 1 # DC250L-DCRP.
