When greasing bearings by hand, place a glob of grease in
the palm of one hand and push the large end of the bearing
down into the grease (see illustration). Keep turning the
bearing around and forcing it down through the grease
until the grease is extruded up through the opposite end.
Wipe the extra grease in your hand around the outside of
the bearing. It's not necessary to fill the hub and dust cap
with grease.
