Be sure you don't use too much grease with those E-Z lube hubs. I did and had grease all over the drums and linings. "If one squirt is good, two must be better." I'm an old farm boy and we always put in a little extra grease from the grease gun -- always "one more squirt." I'm joking, of course, but you surely don't want to over grease. When I had my axles replaced with Mor-Rydes, I asked about the E-Z lubes and the Dexter Rep who was there in Elkhart, IN said that Dexter didn't recommend the E-Z lubes because of the very problem that I just described. I'm now using my dealer to repack the bearings annually as well as brake adjustments.
Some of the younger guys on this forum may want to do the work themselves, but not me.
