Dexters design incorporates the entire hub and channels grease to the inboard bearing first than back out to the outboard bearing. It can also be flushed. The Bearing Buddy is simply a cap that forces grease through the outboard bearing and deadheads at the inboard. Its OK, but certainly not the most efficient.
I Think if you have the ez-lube axle, you want to inject a bit slowly as to not rupture a seal. I pump grease slowly until i see newer grease exit. I am also spinning the wheel as i do this.
