They slip over the brake hubs pretty tight and I keep them on using hose clamps. I made up some strange looking temp “caps” using Planters Peanuts 16 oz plastic jars to get my trailer home. I might just try making my own dust/grease caps. That would mean getting new drum brake hubs, brakes, etc… I thought about the route of replacing the axles but that seems like a lot of expense and work for what amounts to replacing what should be about a $5 part. I sent them the request so I am hoping to get some help there. I did get a reply from Malibu this morning and was provided an email address I could use to send in my explanation and request to.
They were very helpful and have some great prices, but they said they didn't have anything that would fit.
Maybe you could call etrailer or send them an email to see what they say. Possibly another option would be just to buy some new axles with standard hubs? That definitely seems like a nonstandard size, see if you think any of these would work: I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to where I could find 2.40 to 2.42 inch ( inside hub diameter measurement ) replacement wheel dust caps for my trailer? The following is the information on the trailer sticker: I sent them a message to let them know their website doesn’t work and requested an email address I could send my help request to. I tried to contact Malibu to see if they could help, but their website wouldn’t let me submit my request for help, and I didn’t see any phone number to call. They must be some kind of “generic” bearings? When I pulled off the hub and bearing to check and see the part numbers on bearings, there was no manufacturer or part numbers stamped on the bearings. He had a 2.43 dust cap but it wouldn’t quite fit as it turned out it was just a slight amount too big diameter. The guy at NAPA Auto Parts store measured the inside dimensions of the hub where the dust cap would have to fit into, and that measurement was 2.40 to 2.42 inches diameter. I have tried local parts stores and the internet but have had no luck. My problem is the wheel dust caps that came with that trailer came off while I was recently towing my boat and I haven’t been able to find any replacements that will fit the brake drum hub. From what I understand that company went out of business a number of years ago. The factory trailer that was manufactured by “Elete Trailer Company” in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. You probably have the standard #84 spindle, but the best way is to pull the old bearings/races/seals and get the part numbers off them. I think trailers were regional up until the past year or two when Malibu started actually making their own.ĭo you have a Boatmate, Dorsey, Magnum, etc?
