If it's impossible to get grease to the inner bearings without disassembly or an easy lube ( that's where the spindle is line bored carrying grease to in between the 2 bearings, right? Help the clueless), then how can one push out the grease seal on a hub with bearing buddy's..
The spindle is not line bored it is drilled. The EZ Lube system does not inject grease between the 2 bearings. It is injected between the back of the bearing and the lip seal. This seems to be what creates the issue with blowing the seal out.
I hand pack because I do not want to take a chance of blowing out the seal and I do not want the entire cavity full of grease. Just my opinion. Op, any auto repair shop can repack your bearings. Call a couple for price. May be cheaper and quicker than a RV dealer.
