The center hub on the ez lube hubs is normally dry initially so it takes A LOT OF GREASE the first time. Easily half a tube. You pump the grease in until you see clean fresh grease come out the end. I use the red grease to see this easier. The next time you'll use much less grease because the center of the hub is now full. There is no set number of pumps. Plenty of YouTube videos to show you how.
Rotating the wheel while you're doing it is a must.
And I assume EVERYONE knows that mixing grease can be disastrous ??? So you pump a few shots of grease into those bearing, having no idea what grease those bearings had been packed with prior. So before you do all that pumping grease into those hubs, they were removed initially ,and hand packed with a brand of grease you intend to pump in at a later date ??? I also assume if you pump all the old grease out the front as suggested here all is well ???
Then I also assume the bearings ,brakes ,magnets etc NEVER have to be inspected until you either lose your brakes , or a bearing goes out . Just wondering when do you actually pull a hub ,and really look at things , and properly pack the wheel bearings .
