Kind of a joke does not cover it correctly. They ARE a joke.
I believe Dextar states you should jack the tire off the ground to grease the hub. How many really do that???
The hole exits the spindle between the inner bearing and the seal. The grease is going to take the path of least resistance. A little dry grease in the bearing and the seal quickly becomes that path.
With no water flooding (boat trailer) why would you even need to fill the cavity with grease or even grease the bearings every few months. Car and truck front wheel bearing go 100k easy with just packed bearings and no e z hub.
Pack the bearings close it up and throw the grease gun away.
Now if we were talking a boat trailer that might be different. Then I would recommend water sealed Vortex hubs. They have a grease fitting on the outside for the outer bearing and another grease fitting on the back of the hub for the inner bearing. And they are water tight.
