FAQs

What is the purpose of a dust cap?

The dust cap protects wheel bearings from dust, dirt, and moisture, which can cause premature wear and failure.

What size hub does this dust cap fit?

This dust cap fits hubs with a 47mm internal diameter.

What material is the dust cap made from?

The dust cap is made from steel and zinc plated for corrosion protection.

How do I install the dust cap?

Insert the hub cap into the hub center, ensuring a snug fit. Use a rubber mallet if needed to gently tap it into place. Avoid excessive force.

Are these hub caps suitable for all trailers?

No, they are primarily designed for hubs with a 47mm internal diameter, often found on trailers with Avonride hubs/axles, but can fit many others.

How do I clean the dust caps?

Clean the caps with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating.

What if the dust cap doesn't fit?

Double-check the hub's internal diameter. If it is 47mm, ensure the hub is clean and the cap is aligned correctly. If the problem persists, the hub or cap might be damaged and need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Hub cap doesn't fit properly.

Verify that your hub's internal diameter is 47mm. If it is, ensure the hub is clean and the cap is aligned correctly before gently tapping it into place.

Hub cap is loose or falls out.

Check for any damage to the hub or the dust cap. Ensure the cap is fully seated and properly secured. Consider using a small amount of grease to help it stay in place.
