Was planning on doing some routine maintenance before heading out (pandemic dependant) for the season. As a i'm new to the TT world and a second owner of my 2012 CrusierRV FunFinderX 210UDS. So in doing my due diligence and trying to be self reliant and save some cash I decided to grease the wheel bearings on my rig. It is my understanding that my TT is equipped with EZ-Lub Dexter Axles and that this should not be a problem. I did everything that my research uncovered such as spinning the tire when inserting the grease and stopping when I noticed new looking grease coming from the hub. While doing this I noticed that I used a fair amount of grease for just one axle. The attached pictures are the before and after. The grease gun I used was a simple lever action so no major pressure was applied. However; I'm wondering if I have put too much grease into the bearing and if i may have blown the seal in the back. Leading to the grease being squeezed out on to the brakes and there by causing a possible brake failure should i be heading down a steep grade. Am I going to have to take the wheels off and inspect the seals to make sure they aren't blown in other words take it to a mechanic and have it checked just to make sure as I do not have the equipment in order to check this. I'm looking forward to hitting the road and any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you are fine. From the factory the bearings will be greased but the whole cavity will not be full of grease so I would expect it to take a tube or two to fill the cavity.
Just noticed this was a 2012 - not a 2021! Maybe the previous owner did not use the easy lube - from the first pic I don't see much grease. Try the brakes, if they work don't worry about it
