E-Z lube axles

I used them on a 5ver -once. Never again.

Called Dexter about this, they said they wish RV manufacturers would not use them. They are intended for use only on trailers that get the axles submerged in water, such as a boat trailer.

I replaced the seal I blew out using the hand-pump-and-spin method, and hand-packed them after that experience.

As I understand it, that is what Buddy Bearings are for, not EZ Lube bearings.
Buddy Bearings have a spring to maintain pressure when the wheels are submerged and quickly cool. Otherwise water would be sucked into the bearing. I think a lot of people confuse the two concepts.
