You can easily switch from standard grease caps like # F001503 to Bearing Buddy bearing protectors. All you need to do is measure the hub inner bore with a precision caliper like # PTW80157. You will want to measure to the nearest thousandth of an inch, such as 1.234-inches, to select the correct size.
Also note whether the bore of your hubs is threaded or smooth; we have Bearing Buddy protectors for both threaded and non-threaded hubs and in many sizes, shown on the linked page.
