Default LT80 - Rear axle grease, how much?

Does anyone know how much grease is supposed to go into the zerk at the rear axle? I pumped nearly a whole tube in there and none is coming out anywhere I can see.

That should be enough...LOL

It's a big area in there to fill before it pushes into the bearings.

I don't have the quad or my shop manual here with me at the moment, but there are at least 2 on the front end.

I can vouch that it will push out to the rear. I've spent about 2 hrs today taken the rear end apart and cleaning the drum and shoes. Never seen sooooo much grease. I couldn't figure out when my sons quad didn't stop well and now i know.

Is white lithium grease ok use or should i be using something else?
