I've read accounts on this forum of issues with brakes and axles after having the hubs serviced by a supposedly well trained staff at a business that does it on a regular basis.
The EZ Lube system is simplicity itself: jack up the wheel, slowly grease the system, while turning the wheel, until clean grease comes out the front.
Yes really ... and what I previously said I still stand by as my opinion based on personally having done both methods and extensive reading here of others experiences concerning both methods. While you have a right to your opinion I just do not share it.
Just your belief in what those "well trained staff at businesses" do as being a counter point with any weight to what I stated is IMO laughable.
