I will never use the EZ-Lube grease zerk because of the excessive amount of grease in the hub and the very likely chance of grease getting on the brakes. Thoroughly clean the bearings and inspect them, then grease by hand. I use the grease gun to flush the old grease out of the hole in the spindle while it is apart, then never use it again. Do it right by hand and don't depend on gimmicks like EZ-Lube.
Completely agree and after seeing a new fifth wheel brake loaded with grease from the Dexter factory, very few people are able to use the system correctly. Dexter has a good video on how it should be done, but I prefer doing it by pulling and inspecting the bearings and replacing the seals.
