Trailer Oil Bath Hub Caps
4 Pack Billet Aluminum Oil Bath Caps 2-7/8"-12 — Replaces Dexter 21-35
Heavy-duty aftermarket billet aluminum replacement oil bath cap kit for trailer hubs using 2-7/8"-12 threaded caps. Includes four caps, four O-rings, and four rubber plugs.
Part Number: 21-35 Billet-Chrome-KitX4 4 Cap Kit 2-7/8"-12 Threads
Overview
This aftermarket billet aluminum oil bath cap kit is designed as a durable replacement for common plastic oil caps used on compatible trailer oil bath hubs. The caps are built for hubs using 2-7/8"-12 threaded oil bath caps and are commonly used with many 8-lug oil bath hub and drum applications. Fitment should always be confirmed by thread size, hub type, and casting number before ordering.
R&P Service Insight
Oil bath caps are a small part with a big job. A failed or damaged cap can lead to lubricant loss, bearing damage, and trailer downtime.
- Durability: Billet aluminum helps replace commonly cracked or damaged plastic oil bath caps.
- Seal Support: Includes O-rings and rubber plugs for a complete cap refresh.
- Fitment Check: Confirm 2-7/8"-12 threads before installation.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for hubs using 2-7/8"-12 threaded oil bath caps and commonly referenced as a replacement for Dexter 21-35 style caps.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used on many 8-lug oil bath trailer hub and drum setups, including select disc brake applications.
Installation Notes: Inspect the hub threads, remove old gasket material or debris, lubricate the O-ring as needed, and install carefully to avoid cross-threading.
Performance Insight: Oil bath caps help seal hub lubricant while allowing visual inspection and maintenance of oil level. A damaged cap can allow oil loss and expose bearings to failure risk.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: Aftermarket replacement billet aluminum cap kit.
Application Reference: Replaces Dexter 21-35 style oil bath caps when the hub uses matching 2-7/8"-12 threads.
What This Means: This listing includes four aftermarket billet aluminum caps with matching O-rings and rubber plugs.
Before Ordering: Verify thread size, hub style, drum casting number, and existing cap type. Do not order by axle weight alone.
R&P Repair Insight
When replacing oil bath caps, inspect the surrounding hub area and lubricant condition at the same time. A cap replacement is also a good time to check for contaminated oil, damaged threads, worn plugs, or signs of leaking around the cap seat.
- Thread Check: Confirm the hub accepts 2-7/8"-12 threaded caps before installation.
- Seal Check: Replace damaged O-rings or plugs to help prevent lubricant loss.
- Hub Check: Inspect for oil leaks, cracked caps, damaged threads, and contaminated lubricant.
