Expert Reply:
The # 8-258-50UC1-EZ Idler Hub Assembly you referenced includes the grease cap for an EZ Lube spindle. An EZ Lube spindle has a zerk fitting in the end of it so grease can quickly and easily be added to the hub. The rubber plug in the center of the grease cap is removable to allow access to the grease zerk.
This particular hub can be used if you have a standard spindle with no grease zerk, but a standard hub is available as part # 8-258-50UC1. This hub includes a standard grease cap.
Bearing Buddies aren't compatible with EZ Lube spindles but if you have standard spindles the Bearing Buddies for a 1.98 inch hub bore like # BB1980A-SS would be compatible with the # 8-258-50UC1 hub.
