IMHO grease fittings on the axles was possibly the worst thing ever. one to many pumps and the seals are gone, or rather, the grease is forced past the seal. Had to replace one on our 2016 when we first got it. I did not even bother to have the people who think this is a good idea messing with it. Discs in our future. FWIW if you want to replace backing plate, shoes and all, Amazon has a pretty good price for a set of two (one axle) complete set, four or five bolts and two wires and you have new brakes, assuming the drums are still good, which mine were. Repack bearings by hand, messy but at least you know what you have. Too much riding on this system to take any chances for me.
