Dexter E Z lube bearings

Constant turning and slow pumping. Never a problem.

I grease as per Dexter's instruction and have never had any problem. Constant turning and slowly pumping.

As mentioned above, I babied it and had no issues, twice now. I got my kids to keep the wheel at a constant spin and I took my time pumping. Like really took my time. We spent at least 15 minutes at each wheel.

Your choice, but now you know the risk.

X2 it take almost a tube of grease for each wheel, Slow and steady wins that race.

Brand of truck and how much truck do I need are about the only two subjects that get more heated discussions than EZ Lube. There are those of us who use them very carefully per the Dexter directions and videos and have never had a problem with them. There are people who have reported getting grease thru the seals and on to their brakes.

In my opinion, if you do it slow while continuously turning the wheel as directed, they work as designed. My guess is the problems arise from people getting in a hurry and pumping too fast and too hard.

Make your own decision.

My Jayco has E Z lube bearings. The Dexter has a you tube video and shows that you pump grease in until the new grease comes out. I called a Jayco dealer and he says not to do it that way. Says that grease gets in to the brake drums. Witch way do I go?

It's rare but the dealer actually told you something truthful and helpful.

Dexter e z lube does work if you baby it. Going really slow and spinning the wheel a lot to protect that rear seal otherwise greased brakes.

Pulling the hubs and knocking out the bearings isn't so bad, and it gives you a chance to inspect the bearings and spindles.
