E-Z lube hub cover replacement?

Got this?




Need this.

In spite of what many claim, the EZ Lube hubs work well as designed when done properly. Some on here who claim the end of the world if you use them will reluctantly admit they have never actually used them themselves.

Mine has the EZ Lube axles, but the large chrome hub covers have round openings in the end that allow greasing the axles without removing the wheels or covers. Just remove the rubber plug and there is the zerk. Does yours not have the openings in the large chrome hub covers?

My covers look similar to these or these.

seals wear out...only a matter of time before you pump grease on your brakes...don't do it.

You can purchase the hub covers at etrailer:

phemens, did you have any idea that you would create such a hub a balou when you posted? :W i got the same deal on mine. :h If I ever service my bearings again I will take look at how ugly things are without the cover.

If it's time for greasing the bearings, it's also time for inspecting them, which requires removing the wheel and hub.

EZ-lube type systems may be useful on boat trailers, where you might want to replace the grease more often in case water gets in. But Bearing Buddies should keep that from happening in the first place.

In addition to needing to inspect the bearings, using an EZ-lube system often results in grease getting past the seal and onto the brakes. Then you've got a much bigger job than simply removing the hub in the first place. It will take about a full tube of grease on each hub to displace the all the old grease, which there will be a lot of (if you pump a tube in, a tube's worth comes out), so it's no less messy than just repacking by hand. You have to jack it up and rotate the wheel when pumping the grease in, and it takes a lot of pumping a grease gun to push a full tube through. So you really don't save much, if any, time or effort.

Do you get the idea that I'm not a fan of using an EZ-lube system?

Though Puddles is correct I had the same type of hub covers on my last TT. I pulled the wheels and threw the covers away then purchased Bearing Buddy covers and only used the zerk grease fittings sparingly and no I never popped a grease seal.

Forget the grease gun... inspect /hand pack brgs and inspect brake shoes...

You have the wrong parts, they should have a center that pops out. That said, I have no use for that way of greasing.
