I had our rig completely off the ground for almost 4 days this past winter when I replaced all four brake assemblies due to grease on the shoes. I greased the EZ lubes once, followed the directions perfectly, and still got grease past the seals. I decided that $4 per seal and a little time to pull the wheels off and grease the bearings by hand is much better than risking greased shoes. Besides, this allows an inspection of the brakes and bearings. So, maybe $20 to hand pack the bearings, or $400 to replace the brakes assemblies...I'll hand pack from now on.
