Sounds like you got it. Although, I'm not sure I'm understanding the "removed the inner races" part. I just remove both seals from both sides and force the grease in that way.

>So I guess the question is how much is too much?  I repacked all my brand new bearings with some thick synthetic grease.  They are packed tight and a bit came out when putting the outter seals on.  I also removed the inned races' and put grease on the inside as well.
