For a replacement rubber plug for your trailer grease caps you can use part # DC-RP from TruRyde. This fits a 1.18-inch hole in a grease cap like # RG04-040.

We do offer replacement bearings, bearing kits and brake components as well. Complete bearing kits for 7K axles can be seen on the link provided. Both use inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 14125A. Kit # BK3-210 includes a seal with an I.D. of 2.125-inches and kit # BK3-200 uses a seal with an I.D. of 2.250-inches. Individual bearings and races are also available and can be ordered by their part numbers, such as part # 25580.

Since your Big Tex 14GN uses electric drum brakes you can use the linked page to select appropriate size brakes. For 7K axles we offer 12 x 2-inch brakes like Dexter's Nev-R-Adjust # 23-464 and # 23-465. You'll want to match up your brake mounting flange bolt pattern and to use a left-and right-hand brake on each axle.
