Well... What I found was that the holes that are drilled in the pulley itself weren't drilled all the way through to the axle. So I redrilled the holes carefully, and actually increased the diameter to accept the aerosol spray nozzle of a high pressure water proof hinge grease.

After a trip down dirt roads I can also put the same type of spray nozzle in there with gun scrubber to flush out the old grease and replace with fresh.

It has worked like a champ for me.

Good luck!
