Ez lube dexter axle reviews?

Looking for some reviews from people who have actually used the ez lube dexter axles. Just bought a new trailer with them on it and curious if anyone has had any issues when the ez lube system is used properly? I know if too much pressure is applied, a seal can be blown, but if the instructions are followed, it seems like a nice system.

We've only had our 2012 Montana for 2 years but we are happy with ours so far. I was impressed with the amount of grease they took when I serviced them the first time.

We had a SunnyBrook trailer with the Dexter EZ-Lube axles. They took grease and flushed the old grease as advertised for about two seasons before the inner seal on one of the axles failed and allowed grease to get in the brake shoe area. That convinced me to go back to the old tried and true maintenance practice of removing, cleaning and hand packing the bearings on a periodic basis.

Had them on my Montana. No problem with them, but at the two year mark I hand packed them which gave me the opportunity to examine the bearings and brake condition.
