It replaces Dexter part numbers 21-36 or 021-036-00 and is typically made of clear Lexan plastic, allowing you to visually check the gear oil level and condition without removing the cap. You would replace this cap if the original is cracked, leaking, or missing its plug, as a damaged cap can lead to lubricant loss and eventual hub bearing failure. It threads directly into the hub and is secured by a large O-ring to prevent leaks.
