Question:
what would prevent a hub from taking grease. The grease zerk is clear, but I have never been able to get one of my four trailer hubs to take grease. The other three hubs will take 2-3 pumps of grease, but not this one. Could the piston be malfunctioning and blocking the application of grease?

Expert Reply:
The piston could certainly be bad, or perhaps even the zerk fitting. Try removing the bearing buddy and applying grease while it is off of the hub.
I had the same thing happen on my jet ski trailer, I replaced the bearing buddy which fixed the problem.
