Can Too Much Grease be Added to Trailer Hub Using EZ Lube Spindles
Updated 12/29/2025 | Published 12/09/2025
Question:
Hi, I do have Lippert 7000 axle with Easy lube system on my TH trailer. But I do have question, if the Trailer Hub Grease Cap should be full of grease or better let there some space for grease expansion due the heat ? THX

Hey Milos, it's actually pretty easy to overfill trailer hubs with grease using the EZ lube grease fittings which then blows out the grease seal. What we've found is that if you pack the hub with grease by hand that is the actual best practice to ensure you get the correct amount in and won't have any problems. If you wanted to use the EZ lube fitting after packing by hand I would tread pretty lightly and maybe just add a small amount like a single pump while turning the wheel and you would be fine.

Hey Milos, how did things go after packing your hubs by hand and adding just a small amount through the EZ lube fitting? Your results could really help others trying to avoid overfilling their trailer hubs.
