OLD-Biscuit, just another EZ Lube horror story! Marketing, marketing.
Like lots of other things, the product isn't the issue as much as not knowing how to, or misusing the product.
When used properly the EZ lube system is fine, but like everything else, most believe 'more is better' is the way to go.
The spring is pretty feeble, just enough to keep grease in the bearings. If however you keep pumping on the grease gun you create a hydraulic force that overcomes the seals quite easily.
If you follow the instructions the spring-loaded piston can't possibly create enough force to do anything but keep the bearings greased.
What spring loaded piston?
EZ lube is a drilled axle with a zerk on the end that allows grease to be forced into the rear bearing, through the hub cavity, and then through the outer bearing. There is no spring or piston. All pressure is provided by the grease gun.
