Can Air Powered Grease Gun Be Used to Grease Hub on EZ Lube Spindle
Question:
Can you use a air powered grease gun to Lub EZ Lub axles?
asked by: Stephen T
Expert Reply:
As long as you don't over fill the hubs with grease you can use an air-powered grease gun. If you put too much grease in a hub you'll blow out the seal on the back side of the hubs so you have be careful not to do that.
You should slowly pump grease into the spindle. As you are pumping the grease into the spindle, occasionally rotate the hub. This will prevent the grease from building up in one spot.
Continue to pump grease until you begin to see the outer bearing move or you see grease seeping through the outer bearing. If you pump the grease slowly and rotate the hub, you should not blow the grease seal. Once you see the grease seeping through, you can install the washer, spindle nut and nut retainer. Keep in mind, when threading on the castle nut, you will want to tighten the nut until it is hand tight and then slightly back it off.
