I stopped at a gas station the other day to top up the tires on my 2012 Stella 4T. While filling the rear tire I noticed a hole in the hub that looked to me like it should have something screwed into it.
It's too small to get a finger into to see if it's threaded.
Anybody know if something is missing here?

There once was a plastic screw inserted in that hole.
It is there to inspect the brake shoe pad thickness.
The world won't end without it but you should get a replacement to keep road trash from entering the drum.
Looks like a 6mm thread but any non-factory replacement would have to be very short so as not to hit the brake parts.
