Okay, so apparently I don't need my bearing buddy's anymore because the axle I just put in has a posi-lube spindle with the zerk fitting on there.

Problem is, this is the first time I'm using a grease gun and I'm doing something wrong because the grease is not going into the zerk fitting. It just spills out. I think I loaded my grease gun wrong. Grease comes out the gun, but it's not pressurized or anything? I tried following the plew's instruction but got confused when they talked about making sure plunger is "disconnected" or "connected". It looked disconnected to me and could not get to the "connected" image. It was pressurized prior to me loading the grease cartridge. I don't know if I have to pump the lever or what. The grease just oozes over the zerk fitting on the spindle. It doesn't go into the pin size head.

You are not pressing it over the zerk fitting hard enough.

Thanks. I had to search a video to see that.
