I was checking my bearings yesterday on my boat trailer and noticed that the rubber plug that fits in the end of the dust cap had torn. I thought this would be a easy piece to find but I'm having a hard time. I finally found a website that has them, I added 4 (2 for spares) to my cart and when I tried to checkout a message stated that I hadn't met the minimum purchase price for an order. Does anyone else know where to get these? I'm going to call the number I found on the UFP website but was hoping someone here has replaced these before. BTW, the trailer is a Tracker Trailstar. Thanks fellas.

Re: trailer hub question

I've never had a problem finding replacements in the parking lot of the boat ramp.




sorry, just couldn't resist. ;)

Re: trailer hub question

I stopped using those for they had been irritating and useless. I lost 3 within 30 minutes I picked up my new trailer.

What I have using for last 3 years to hold and protect the grease are bearing covers or bras. Then i use the clamps to hold these in place. Like those clamps that hold your hoses on the thermostat. You can get it from home depot or any hardware. I burned my brakes about 3 times, those grease sizzled due to extreme heat, but I tell you, those bras and clamps were still there. I have not lost one in 3 years.
