ABSTRACT:
A wheel bearing end cap is integrally molded from plastic, and is vented so that it will not be blown out of the wheel hub due to pressure fluctuations. A conical depression in the center section of the cap includes an integral fracture line that breaks and vents upon the first experience fluctuation, and thereafter. The vent is protected by its inset, sheltered location. The molded depression is also sheltered within a tail stock hole in the center of the bearing spindle, so that the extra space necessary for the molded in depression does not add to the overall size of the package.
