loose ball BB assembly

I am about to put together my first loose ball BB and don't really know what steps or what the easiest way to assemble is. It is an older Miche crankset with an offset spindle 115.5mm. Though I haven't read a lot of good about miche cranks, it's what I have to use. I also thought it may not be bad to use a cartridge type campy centaur BB if I can't get the loose ball set up right. I looked for a video on the internet, but didn't find anything very useful. I am most concerned with adjustment and amount of grease to initially put in there. I know these are rudimentary questions, but I need to learn the basics and I don't want to mess it up. As always thanks in advance.
