Availability of EZ Lube Grease Cap for Dexter 12-1/4" Hub-and-Rotor Assembly # 008-416-94

Question

Question:

IT looks like this hub comes with the solid grease cap. I have an EZ lube spindle. Is there a grease cap with the removable plug so I can access the grease zerk without removing the entire cap? If so, whats the part number? Thanks for your assistance.
