PS - Here's a not so cheap link that includes a photo of the tub:

What purpose does applying with the flux brushes serve?
I just **** the grease onto the cones and bearings with my fingers.
Of course, it means I have to wash my hands with dish soap to get it off.
Am I missing something fancy? Are flux brushes the thing to use for grease?
