The grease fitting you’re fooling with pushes grease through the spindle to the back, through the bearings back towards the front. Bearing buddies push grease from the front towards the back. Fill it with grease until the spring starts moving, then you’re done. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to get that out. They break all the time. I just always install bearing bearings. It’s what I run on my trailers.
