Paint a house for $399 dollars worth of paint every 4 years or paint a house for a thousand dollars worth of paint that lasts ten years?
Ignore Hwang Ho® bearings because dealing with them "Is going to be a hassle", and schmucking off finding a truly superior grade of grease, because getting ahold of really good grease "is surely going to be a hassle".
Water PROOF grease that can withstand 10 years under seawater when applied to USA manufacturer grade bearings means I will be smirking when the naysayers are broken down on the shoulder of an interstate. I never have and I never will use zerk fitting lubrication on a sea launch boat trailer because the bearings are totally sealed with Almagard 3752, and 15 years down the road, the money for EZ lube and Dexter nonsense is still in my pocket. And I have no worries at all about accidentally greasing the brake shoes. But we wouldn't want to put Dexter or EZ lube out of business, would we? Grease does not magically de-materialize. So tell me. where does the grease go, pumping after pumping after pumping? How do you know FOR SURE you haven't compromised the rear seal?
