Sorry but you to are just as bad, I had a new travel trailer som years ago with the Dexter setup, only greased them a few times and only maybe 5 strokes while spinning wheels, at end of trip removed wheels to adjust brakes as not stopping to great, and guess what grease on to brakes, so maybe the luck of the draw, or maybe som manufacturer use better seals than others.

Follow the instructions I believe would include disassembly and inspection.
afaik filling the hub is to prevent water intrusion when launching a boat.
Otherwise pump slowly while turning the wheel.

I have that system and have pumped many tubes of grease into them and NEVER had a bit of grease come out the back. I have disk brakes so it's easy to tell.

Every time EZ Lube comes up there are those who immediately say don’t do it or you will get grease on your brakes. Two or three of those I asked if they had actually done that. And they admitted they had not and were only repeating what they had heard. No doubt some have gotten grease on their brakes. And questionable if those followed Dexter guidelines exactly, either pumping to fast, not continuously turning the wheel, using a pneumatic gun, etc.

2011 Jayco 321RLTS, greasing the hubs (bearing buddy style with zerks under the caps) Been way to long since I have done that. No time to go to the way to busy dealer before a trip. Stroke till grease flows?

TX iceman, yep that is what I have, the Dexter axles. Going to need another tube or two of grease..
If you put even a half tube of grease into the four hubs, you will likely grease the brakes.

Use quality synthetic that will flow easily. DON'T use a pneumatic grease gun.
Have someone spin the tire and pump as fast as you like and the old grease will start coming out. Simply wipe off and when new grease appears you are done.
For this system to work properly you need QUALITY seals like National.
