I have no idea how it popped out...I guess I did not hammer it on all the way.

Anyone had this happen before? What is the best solution to not having this happen again?

Tips etc??!

Yes ..... over packed or just loose. Either one will result in the thing coming off.

I have lost a few over the years. But that because we travel 350 miles one way to lake powell, and not on the best of roads.

I always carry a spair or at least another dust cap.

Yeah, ain't no thing. I've done it as well. Just buy a pair, and keep one spare in a zip-loc bag. They are cheap, but well worth it!

jack up the trailer and check the wheel bearing condition itself. Many times when the bearing is bad, it will pop off the dust cap or the bearing buddy.

Brand new bearings, races, and seal...I think the pin must of been blocking it from going in all the way...

Live and learn i guess...
