I have not had any "leakage" since I quit using the EZ lube thing. I only pack my bearings by hand. I ruined a set of brake shoes by using the EZ lube and will never use it again. The old cars - back when I was a kid- that had the brake drums in the front you packed the bearings by hand and only had to do it every 50,000 miles. My '66 Mustang (should have kept that car!) had the bearings packed twice. 50,000 miles and 100,000 miles. I know because I did it myself. It didn't have the fancy seals that the TM does, but then it didn't have the phony EZ lube system either! If you're using that Castrol wheel bearing grease you shouldn't have to pack the bearings for 5 years or more! I don't intend to pack my bearings until I replace the tires the next time. YMMV
