Question about Eazy lube axles
Hey all, I'll be picking up my Passport 2400BH on Monday. i have a question about the Ez-lube axles, which I am assuming are just like bearing buddies. How does the grease reach the inner bearing...

The grease will easily get to the outer bearing the shape of the hub will sling it out there when it warms up. If you don't rotate the grease will also only move along the bottom and to the outer bearing without filling the cavity. You really don't want the void filled.
It also appears there is conflicting info from Dexter, as I have read where rotating a dexter is not recommended. Al-Ko does not want rotation with their system, identical with a different name for copyright reasons. They all use the same bearings...
In the end do whatever you are most comfortable with.
Well all I can say is that I disagree with almost everything you said, especially about the slinging and the grease warming up. Depending on that hope and a prayer to lubricate that outer bearing is IMO a sure way to have a improperly lubricated and a potential bearing failure. I'm not sure where you get all this what I can only call "off the wall" conjecture, but clearly the directions say to pump it in until you see new grease expelled from around the castle nut and that is physically impossible unless the hub between the two bearing is full.
