I just installed the EZ Flez w/wet bolts this weekend. A big thanks to LAdams for the step-by-step with photos and others with there suggestions. It took me about 6 hours from getting all the tools/jack stands together to cleanup, did it by myself. Tear down went well as my trailer is only 2 years old, so no rust issues. I used a hacksaw blade to cut the plastic bushings and then twisted them out. Was very suprised as they were in excellent shape, although my trailer only has around 5K miles. (Mostly short trips until retirement next year) I rented a ball joint tool for pressing in the bolts, worked great. Put the bronze bushings in freezer overnight and they slipped right in using an old bolt (without serrations), just light tapping from hammer. I test greased all bolts before install to be sure they would take grease. Installed them with the hole facing either 6 or 3 o-clock, depending on location. Basically had hole facing away from spring. Went together well and when done and resting on the wheels everything took grease. Short test drive and it was a noticable difference. Next trip in 2 weeks for real test. Again thanks to all posters for suggestions.
