Helpful Expert Reply:
EZ-Lube spindles make it really easy to keep your hubs filled with grease. But they can also make it easier to blow out your grease seal if they are over-filled. The best solution, apart from using care to avoid this over-filling concern, is to use double-lip grease seals that can withstand higher grease pressure.
The linked page displays all of our double-lip grease seals. You can simply match your part number or select a seal based on the inner and outer diameter dimensions. These dimensions need to be very precise, to the nearest thousandth such as 1.234-inches. The seal inner diameter must match your spindle diameter and the seal outer diameter must match your hub bore.
