Any suggestion appreciated first time I’ve done this. I will remove the dust cap and fill any ideas how much it will take thanks

If you don’t know what your doing, don’t. You will over grease causing grease to push out the inside seal ruining your brakes.

Thanks for your input I’ve reached out to Hankook HQ and the installer in California who are working out how to get the tires to me and installed as I’m in SC now

Just to clarify, you can't get too much grease into the axle to blow past the rear seal using the EZ-Lube system and a hand powered grease gun. Excess grease will exit the axle past the grease zerk. If grease gets past the seal, it's a bad seal.

The problem is, using the EZ Lube is akin to working blindfolded. One cannot tell if a seal has failed until the damage is done.

I don't recommend using the EZ-Lube system, I was just explaining you can't "blow the grease seals" by adding too much grease via the EZ-Lube zerk. I don't use them, and don't see the value in using them.
