the mechanic is correct. ez lube axles are for adding a half a squirt of grease every couple of years, so that you dont need to disassemble and repack...
and yes, those who dont know any better can, and often DO, fill the cavity with grease to the point where the grease only has 2 ways to go.... either out the front, or out the back, and a grease gun can generate thousands of PSI with very little effort, and it doesnt take but a few PSI to push the seal out with too much grease.
Nuf said, but I would recommend other reading this thread disregard the really bum info and total unfounded and unsupported speculation in the post I quoted above.
