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??! -Rob |

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. Justin |

Justin 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... |
