Grease gun/ grease recommendations

Same old nonsense from those scaredy-cats who won't use their EZ lube feature. Just ignore that.

Follow instructions on how to use the EZ lube axles. You can find a video on it. Most importantly is to raise the wheel and rotate it while you slowly pump the grease. Watch around the spindle nut area, and as soon as you see the slightest movement of the old grease, stop. It is full.

Yes it will use a lot of grease the first time you do it, because the factory did not fill the voids in the hub. After the first time, it will take LESS grease than if you packed by hand. It shouldn't take more than 2 tubes the first time to do all 4 hubs. Buy 3 to be safe. Not a big expense.

I don't worry too much about brand, but Valvoline makes one that I like. Any of the wheel bearing greases will do, but I always pay the extra to get high pressure/temp grease that would normally go in disk brake applications. It will be more temperature stable.

Like stated above,

Do not mess with those zerks, do them the old fashion way.....

BY HAND !

Thank you -Peter

Do not use a grease gun on your axles.
In order to use this zerk feature, and completely purge the old grease out (maybe) it would take almost 4 tubes of grease at each greasing.... And it would most likely get past the inner seals and onto the brakes.
That creates quite a mess... Just don't do it.

That is the voice of experience.
