Ya'll know my opinion of the "not so EZ lube", but if ya really want to put your faith in it ... so be it. Yes, I know a handful of you on the MOC swear by it, but the majority of users swear at it. Ask any RV tech. Two questions for those of you that swear by the EZ lube ...
question #1 ... if it's such a whizz bang deal, why does Dexter not fill the cavity to start with at their factory? Do they not have faith in their own product?
#2 ... why is it a good idea to push the contaminated used grease out of the rear bearing, mix it with grease in the hub between the bearings, then pump that mix on in to the front bearing?
shovelhead86 ... just in this instance, I'd pull the wheel and check for grease in the drum area. It takes the patience of Jobe, a lot of turning the tire, and preferably warm weather to make this work right. 3/4 of a tube is quite a bit of grease in a small cavity that the spindle takes up most of the room.
