Based on the 3,500 pound axle on your trailer, the correct replacement grease seal should be the etrailer.com # 58846 that has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and an outer diameter of 2.565 inches. You can measure your spindle to verify this will fit.

Then for grease caps, if you are looking for Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors, I recommend # BB1980A-SS. These have a stainless steel construction and will fit 1.980 inch hub bores, which are typically found on 3,500 pound axles.

If you are looking for an EZ Lube Grease Cap, you will use the TruRyde # RG04-040.

I have also attached an article on replacing the bearing, races and seals on a trailer hub that you may find helpful.
