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...

Where did you find info stating to rotate? My manual says no rotation needed.
Also, why do you think the cavity must be 100% full? That is considered overpacked and NOT what you want. There has to be a way for heat to dissipate.

Look at Dexter web site EZ Lube instruction manual and the above link to the Dexter video for EZ Lube greasing instructions and you will clearly see it says to rotate the wheel while pumping grease.
And the cavity must be filled for grease to be pushed out the front bearing. Watch the Dexter video of the process. As far as overheating due to being full, it does not happen. I have towed mine thru Texas/NM summer heat of 105+ and the hubs do not get hot. Myth.
Agree that it uses a lot of grease.
