Follow-up question about grease...
Okay. I just purchased some LubriMatic Marine Corrosion Control and Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease #2. Upon thoroghly cleaning hub and cones, and bearings, I throughly greased everything and put everything back together again. Question is, is the grease supposed to seap out upon turning the hub? Seems like I have gotten the excess grease but if I continue to turn it, the grease continues to ooze out. At this rate, I'll have to re-grease in no time. Is this supposed to happen or does the numeric convention of the grease have something to do with the consistency?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

There's usually some seepage involved when regreasing hubs. I take this stance on the matter: I'd rather have to wipe of a bit of excess knowing that I got more than enough in than wonder if the small amount I put in was enough.
