On an EZ-Lube axle, the grease gets inserted at the end of the spindle through a zerk fitting and comes out of a hole that should be in between the bearings, filling them both. You would not be able to use Bearing Buddies because the zerk fitting at the end of an EZ Lube axle would interfere with the installation.
