A hub mounted grease cap having a sleeve with an inner end and an outer end. The outer end has an outer end surface that is opposite the inner end. The sleeve encloses a bore that extends through the sleeve. The inner end has an outer diameter that may be a press fit or threaded connection to a hub into which it is installed. An end plug has an end wall and an aperture through the end wall. There is a shaft that extends through the aperture in the end wall of the end plug. A wedge block is connected to the shaft. A seal has a portion that is located between the end wall of the end plug and the wedge block. The seal expands radially outward against the bore of the sleeve when the wedge block is drawn toward the end wall.
