Dave e Victoria,

RVBUDDY gave you the best advise. I pulled mine last year. To me 15 to 20 pumps meant the inside reservoir had a lot of space left. The one comment I want to make is make sure you are pumping slow and steady when using this method. DO NOT use an air powered grease gun. The grease goes in the fitting and comes to a "T" just before the rear seal. The grease comes out and meets the resistance of the rear seal and moves out through the inner bearing, into the reservoir, through the outer bearing and then you see it. There is more resistance with the two bearings then the inside seal. Too much pressure at one time has the grease escaping by the seal onto the brakes and you know what that means. I turn my tire slowly and work the grease hand pump slowly, a lot easier if two people do it.

Good luck.
