How much grease in the Ez lube?
Typical greasing of the EZLube requires how much grease? Half tube? Quarter tube? Pushed a quarter tube in and nothing coming out. Almost half a tube in another. Can't be that much grease needed? ...

"If the EZ Lub hubs worked as designed, it is not possible for them to be "overgreased."
That's very true...if it's done properly. Like almost anything you can screw it up if you don't do it correctly. If the guy greased the zerks 5 times in a year I can see him popping off the caps shooting in half dozen shots of grease and calling it good. Do that a few times and you pretty much guarantee that your brakes will be greased as well as the bearings.
If you pump in grease too quickly it could get past the seal and into the brake housing. Dexter says to rotate the tire while adding grease, not doing so could cause a buildup of grease in one spot and possibly causing it to seep past the seal.
