Dexter EZ Lube ISSUE RESLOVED bad gun

May have to try a different grease gun, sounds like yours is not building much pressure. The hole in spindle is between rear bearing and seal. It should still come through hole, but maybe no pressure to push through bearing. Never heard of this happening, but a faulty gun may be the cause.

My only thought its the axle seal is covering the port (there is typically only one exit port) where grease exits the axle. But if you are pumping and pumping...then where is the grease going? If the port were blocked, you would not be able to pump so freely. Try another grease gun?

Are you using too thick, not recommended grease? Are you raising the wheel slightly, and turning it a little as you pump grease? I needed 50 strokes of the lever before grease started to move through the front bearing, when starting with an empty hub.

Even a hand operated gun, will push the grease out at some point, even if it has to move through the seal onto the brakes.

A couple tips, put the grease gun in the sun a bit, before use. The grease flows through warm bearings better than cold.

Done all of the above. Using approved grease, 5 minutes of pumping and nothing took hub off and no grease, but it comes through the holes in the axle spindle

from what I have been told it almost will take 1 tube of grease before it will start coming out. It has to fill the center cavity first
