<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">Yes. I always pack extra grease in the hub, between the bearings. The extra grease can supply the bearings while spinning and acts like a reserve or even a backer to stop the
grease from pushing away from the bearing. It doesn't need to be filled, a liberal amount good enough. If the hub has no grease in it. The spinning bearing pushes grease away from the bearings and races. I always fill the cap too. Again, having grease
in there prevents the bearing from going dry. Even on my TR3 race car. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
