Yep. Lots of folks have a problem with reading comprehension. They read things that are just not there. The post was about question brakes shoes. Not Wheel bearings.
The grease on the brakes comes from the wheel bearings.
On axles with EZ lube hubs, this is a common occurance.
Hence my question. If the OP has EZlube hubs, and uses this feature, then that is most likely the reason he is now probably facing a big bill.
True, grease seals can just fail... But it happens a lot more often when using the EZlube feature.
Agreed, I was going to post nearly exactly what you just said. If anyone had used the EZ Lube feature that can easily push grease past the seal, so it helps in the future.

Good info IMO and very helpful post. If I were the OP I would want to know how my brakes got grease on them.
If I was the OP and wanted to know how grease was leaking out of the hub (no one actually concluded the brakes had grease on them yet) i would ask the mechanic working on it instead of an opinion based on conjecture.

Where do you think the grease came from? How did it get there? Is there a way to avoid the problem in the future?
