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
