Anybody who has used one knows what happens next. The cap starts crooked, will not straighten out, and you end up chasing it around the hub with a block of wood. Sometimes the PVC splits. Sometimes a $40 cap gets ruined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe got tired of it and machined our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMealey Marine Trailer Grease Cap Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solid billet aluminum cup that holds the cap square to the hub before you ever swing a hammer. The cap physically cannot cock because the tool will not let it. A recessed pocket gives the pressurized diaphragm room to bulge so nothing touches it, and the aluminum is softer than the stainless cap. It drives clean without marring the flange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDexter\/UFP Vault Cap Installation Tool Sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1.980\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Dexter\/UFP Vault caps on 2.5K, 3.2K, 3.5K, and 3.7K hubs.
