I bought a couple of replacement Chinese tail wheel assemblies for my Bushhog last year. They have greaseable hubs, but they have never taken any grease. I assumed they were full of grease and no room for more. Today I noticed a bearing out, so took it apart. Failure from lack of grease. I took the zerk out thinking maybe the hole wasn't drilled all the way thru, it is. I put the zirk in the grease gun and grease pumps thru it....put it back in hub and no way will it pump grease. Tried two different guns...axle is out, so no resistance from inside. I am stumped. Both hubs do the same thing.
