Location: Elk River, Minnesota | If you are just giving the zerk a shot of grease, it should not be an issue. many of the high temp wheel bearing grease brands out there are compatible...but I would not call that a hard and fast rule. I have always used the same grease from repack to a couple of squirts so I don't need to worry about mixing two different types of grease.
As for the spindle, I am not sure how that might work with the EZ lube hubs...I have no experience with those. If there is grease inside of the spindle, I would push out the old so that all of the grease is the same...just in case you change brands and they are not compatible you don't run into any issues. As far as how much...again, I wouldn't have a clue on that either...but I wouldn't think it would be too much..
Overall, I'm pretty anal about doing my best to not have any failures, so I probably go a bit overboard on what I do... sometimes it is downright amazing what others do and never seem to have a problem.... I just don't feel comfortable letting things like that go because Murphy's law always seems to come into play at the most inopportune time...like 70 miles from the closest town and nobody is around to give you a hand if you need it....
