"Never Lubes" are quite a different design from the standard greasable or "Easy Lube" axles. It may be tempting to pump grease into that Zerk fitting on the newer axles, but you run the risk of blowing grease out of the rear seal and possibly on to the brake rotors. I prefer to disassemble the bearings each year, and then clean, inspect and repack them by hand. You can also check the brake pads and callipers at the same time.

Not sure if one can covert the Kodiak rotors with "Never Lubes" over to the "Oil Bath" with the Zerks?
