I read those some time ago and that info is what prompted my question. I generally pump more than "a couple" of times on the gun, and want to fill that cavity without blowing out the inner seals. Maybe I will just take out another mortgage on the house and get a Hubler 1-ton front end. Or leave the money pit parked in the driveway for a few more years while I save up for one.

If you move the axle back far enough you will clear the grease seal and you can pump all you want and get grease out without pushing the seal out. I usually pump enough to get new grease coming out. I do it every fall after the last rally. If you do not push the axle out far enough you can push the seal out of place.
