Indeed I have. Filling the syringe with the goop is the most challenging part of the operation. It's a bit of an ordeal and the best method I could figure is to just pull the plunger all the way off, and fill the syringe using my fingers (covered with nitrile gloves). I suspect I'll be checking out my other rollerbrakes.

And BTW, I also have a drum brake hub which I have no idea how to open up - and it's been worryingly screetchy last time I used that bike. I might just drill a hole and then plug it with a 3D-printed cork from nylon.

EDIT: well duh... I was totally wrong: the drum brake seems quite easy to disassemble.
