I have searched for one of these and can't find one if anyone has a suggestion or has 1 laying around let me know what you want for it, thanks. My local dealer told me they are no longer available and the 6 bolt ones are too big.

I need help finding this as well.....I am in the middle of putting j30 axles but they were not fitting correctly.....I hit this end softly with a hammer and this cap came off.....a lot of grease came out and now the cap doesnt want to stay on. where can I find this cap? and what kind of grease do I need?

Also im having trouble putting the axle nuts in. any recommendations?are s13 and j30 axle nuts the same?

You need CV grease and you need to hammer that cap back on. Once you bolt it to the diff it shouldn't come off.
