RE: Spring Replacement
Some people know how to read a book and other people now how or have done the job. I try to find the guy who has done the job, he tend to know what he's doing. Don't get me wrong book learning is great but hand's on experience is the best. If you don't have an alignment problem take it apart and put it back together. If you have an alignment that is out do a realignment.
RE: First time using Dexter E-Z Lube axle
How many pumps on the grease gun does it take to fill the inside cavity and not push out the axel seal? I think this is an unsafe system and should never be used. I think over weight is safer than no brakes and I'm not into overloading either.

RE: Front Wheel Won't Spin
The brake cans with the big spring is in the rear. You have a rod with a pin through it check that the pin turns free. If not this is the cause of your problem. The rods should be the same lenght from left side to right side. The side with the locked brake may be longer than the other. If so back off on the slack adjuster.
