Everyone thanks so much for the input.
The nice part about this forum is you can ask and find people with way more knowledge then you have on a subject. This was an eye opener for this old boy. I do have the Dexter EZ lube setup and I guess I didn't have a clue to the required maintenance for them. I did as suggested a search on you tube
and found a video from Dexter and it stated jack it up and rotate the tire slowly while pumping grease slowly until you see the new grease come out the front. That would have been the last thing I would have done fearing blowing grease out the seals. I guess that will be my new spring project each year from now on. Who says you can't teach and old dog new tricks. I am humbled one more time.
I learned something, thanks again.

The Dexter video only shows part of the story.
