Helpful Expert Reply:
It sounds like you have an E-Z Lube spindle on your axle like the # TRU77FR with the zerk fitting on the end. When adding grease like the # L11390 the old grease will be pushed out. Once you see the new grease begin to flow out of the end you can remove your grease gun. Wipe off any excess and replace your grease cap plug.
