There have been a lot of rvers contaminate their brakes, thus having no brakes, by pumping them full of grease.

I agree, I would not use the zerk fittings. As it might blow out your rear seal. Plus the amount of grease needed to get through the front bearings would be CARZY.I plan on checking the play of the bearings every 6 months or so and repack the bearings every 2 years.
