FAQs
What size hub do these caps fit?
These caps are designed for hubs with a 60mm internal diameter. The overall diameter of the cap is 64mm.
Are these caps for internal or external fit?
These are internal fit hub caps, meaning they slot into the hub centre.
How many hub caps are included in this pack?
This listing is for a pack of two (2) hub caps.
What is the main benefit of using hub caps?
Hub caps protect the wheel bearings from dust, grit, water, and other contaminants, which can significantly prolong their lifespan and prevent premature failure.
Will these fit any trailer hub?
No, these are specifically for AL-KO hubs with a 60mm internal diameter. Always measure your hub before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Does the rubber seal need to be replaced?
The integrated rubber seal is designed to last. Inspect it for damage during maintenance. If it appears cracked or brittle, replacement might be necessary for optimal protection.
Troubleshooting
Hub cap is difficult to install
Ensure you are attempting to install into a 60mm internal diameter hub. Clean any debris from the hub opening. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the edge of the hub cap for easier insertion.
Hub cap pops out
Verify the internal hub diameter is correct (60mm). Check for any damage or deformities on the hub opening or the hub cap itself. Ensure it is pushed in fully and evenly.
Hub cap rattles during driving
This may indicate an improper fit or a slightly worn hub. Ensure the cap is fully seated. If the issue persists, consider replacing the hub or seeking professional advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hub caps are designed for an internal fit. Gently press the 60mm cap into the hub center until it sits snugly. Ensure it is fully seated to engage the integrated rubber seal. The overall diameter is 64mm, which should correspond to the outer diameter of the hub opening.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for AL-KO hubs with a 60mm internal diameter. Verify your hub's internal diameter measurement before purchase. These will not fit hubs with an external cap fitting or different diameter requirements.
Care: Clean the hub caps periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets directly at the seal. Inspect the seal for damage during wheel maintenance.
