An equivalent picture for Dexter's EZ-lube (most TM's have EZ-Lube, I think) is at

The old grease comes out the front, right next to the Zerk where you are pumping in the new grease. Click "Product Flyer" for a bigger picture.
Both are pretty good, and easy to use, though a couple members have reported grease getting to the brakes. Don't know how or why.

I have had a problem with the SureLube system. The reason why, I believe, is that the old grease is forced out through a channel whose entrance is a 1/8" diameter hole located on the spindle just before the seal. The channel is perpindicular to the spindle, then turns and runs through the center of the spindle, exiting at the back of the spindle. If the channel is clogged, the grease is pushed past the seal. I am packing by hand from now on.
