    I am looking for info as to how to install zerk fittings in my wheelbarrow wheel for better lubrication. These wheels are for airless tires and do not bolt together. the problem is the center hub does not extend past the outer hub.

    Picture might help. Cant get in the drill the center?
    Pull the axle shaft out, pump grease into hub, push shaft back in. A wheel barrel cant use much grease
