Weight on Wheels - sorry.
The zerks look corroded in place - was trying to get one out to see if there was any evidence of grease at all. I'll hitch it up and pull forward to a more level place and have a go.Robin & John

Are the zerks threaded or pressed in?

I had that issue when we first got the TT. We had to jack up the one side and relieve some of the weight. Took grease fine when the weight wasnt all on it.

Try taking some weight off of the axles by leveling the trailer or jacking up the frame which may relieve pressure on the bolts that won't accept grease. I replaced all of my worn out bushings, (due to lack of grease) and reinstalled the bolts with the zerks facing out. It was not an easy job and not as pretty, but I don't have to crawl under the trailer to grease the bolts. I don't use the EZ-lube and instead pack the wheel bearings manually every 4000-5000 miles or before a long trip with Mystic JT-6. I ruined an axle by half-a#@ greasing the bearings using the EZ-Lube zerks.

Sometimes zerk that don’t get serviced for long periods will “freeze” that is the grease dries up and it’s near impossible to force grease in. You can pull it apart and clean it or buy a hammer driven grease tool for this, or if you have one or can rent it, a port a power pump will work, force some hydraulic fluid in there and then it will take grease. For most people the answer is take it apart if nothing else works.

I ran I to this when I was greasing up the wet bolts this morning. Some had grease and some did not. Two of the boats would not take any grease. The roadside rear leaf and the curbside moride spring hanger.
Crazy to think the coach is only 5 moth old and there was not much grease in the bolts.
I am going to try and take the weight off the wheels and give it a try.
FYI, I use redline synthetic grease.
