Designed for DIY mechanics and trailer owners, these AB Tools 70mm metal trailer hub caps are essential for protecting wheel bearings from dust, grease, and road debris. While they offer a durable upgrade over plastic alternatives, it is crucial to measure your hub's internal diameter accurately before purchase to ensure a secure, interference-free fit for your specific trailer setup.

Measure the internal diameter of your hub bore or the outside diameter of your old cap at the insertion point to ensure it matches the 70mm specification.
The metal construction is durable, but it is recommended to keep them clean and apply a thin layer of marine-grade grease to the exterior to prevent surface oxidation.
No, this set includes the dust/grease hub caps only, not the internal wheel bearing grease seals.
It is not recommended, as a standard metal hammer can dent or deform the metal casing; use a rubber mallet instead.
If the cap does not fit snugly, the hub bore may be worn or damaged. Inspect the hub for ovality or burrs that prevent a secure fit.
Verify that the internal hub diameter is exactly 70mm; if the hub bore has been enlarged due to wear, the cap may not seal properly.
Ensure the cap is aligned perfectly straight; use a rubber mallet to apply even pressure around the perimeter of the cap.
To ensure a successful installation, first remove the existing hub cap using a flat-head screwdriver or a pry bar, taking care not to damage the hub bore. Clean the interior of the hub rim thoroughly to remove any old grease or corrosion. Align the new 70mm cap squarely with the hub opening. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the outer edges of the cap until it is seated flush against the hub face. Avoid using a metal hammer directly on the cap, as this may cause denting or deformation. Regularly inspect the caps during your routine trailer pre-trip checks to ensure they remain secure and free from excessive vibration.
