Confusion greasing rear wheel bearings

[lcp]

Guys, I just attempted to grease my rear wheel bearings (the 2 grease zerks inside the rear wheels on the bottom of the axle tube) and did not find the top vent that the grease should squirt out of. I pumped a good amount of grease into each one, but I'm not sure how to tell how much is enough. Any advice?

NEVERMIND: I found it...it was just hidden by crap on top of it. Here's a pic in case any other mechanically challenged individual runs in to this. It took about 60 pumps from my grease gun to finally see some coming out of the weep hole.

If that hole is blocked hard, the grease can push past the seal into your brake drum. Happened on my right rear. I always use a dental pick to make sure it is clear before I start pumping now. They do take a lot of grease the first time you do it.

I do not see a grease fitting. How did you get the grease in.
What kind of adapter did you use.

No grease adapter needed. It's just a standard grease zerk on the bottom of the axle tube. You can see it on the other side of the tube from the vent hole in the picture I put up in my first post. I'd use a pick to make sure the vent hole is unplugged too like Harry recommended.

The grease fitting is circled on this pic.

Every new Rox I've helped grease the passenger side takes alot before it squirts out.
