The grease has RESISTANCE to flow
He's actually spot on and describing the situation in more detail than I was all with hopes something would click with you guys.
Look, no one will twist your arm to use the EZlube zerk, so I'm really puzzled why you continue to throw down your flat out lies and inaccurate statements. They are not even alternative facts...they are just wrong.
Those who claim it can blow a seal IMO have never purposely or accidentally done so (on a good seal) to find out how much manual grease gun pressure it actually requires to do so. And likely have not removed and installed axle seals to find how tightly they are pressed in and how robust the seal to metal bond really is. Try to destroy one...just try it. Axle seals are VERY robust and not easy to "blow out" unless worn and the press fit is no longer a press fit!
