My method. I use RedLine HP synthetic grease.
I grease until I see clean red coming out the ends.
I then raise the trailer off the ground.
Do the same with the grease.
Drop the trailer back down, one more time with the grease.

BTW the MOR/ryde IS specs call for every 12 months or 6000 miles.

Between the torque bracket (part bolted to frame) and the beam's shaft is a fiber cylinder type bushing. Not very thick. It pays to keep it greased.

I use a Milwaukee 12volt electric grease gun. That works super for doing these fittings rolling around under the trailer. Well worth the $100 (I already have all the batteries and chargers)
WOW, you pump a lot of grease in there. Why do you grease the suspension loaded and up-loaded?
