I am going to be the "Other Opinion" on this..

I like the EZ Lube system, I have installed many of them and ran them 10 yrs with no problems on my own rigs. This is my recommendations for lubing them:

Pick a Hot day or park the trailer in a warm shop overnight. The same applies to the grease

Jack up the axle prior to lubing, slightly rotate the tire while pumping in the grease

Go easy on the pumping, not to much to fast or you will blow the seals like others have posted.

Allow some of the old grease to exit the hole, use your finger or clean stick to remove enough to allow expansion while in use.

You can always use a wire tie to probe via the brake adjuster hole to check for grease in the drum.

Here is the link to the system (the grease pushes out between the back seal / bearing):
