when doing the clutch on my 90, i tried the grease thing for about, oh,
5 seconds.

Then i pulled the little cover that holds the rear crank seal and pulled
the bearing off.  probably had to remove a couple of other litle things
like the flywheel, too.  but at some point of stripping down, it was a
no-brainer. The new parts required were not expensive and it was nice to
replace them as well.
