Dear Listers,
I'm just about to put the wheels on the axles. The manual indicates what kind of grease to use, but doesn't really indicate whether you're suppose to use *more* than is already gooped in the bearing when you open the Cleveland box. There seems to be a fair amount of grease already there. What's the common notion on this?
Thanks!

If they've sufficiently lubed between the rollers to pack it all in, and
there is enough grease next to the seal and around it, you should be
good to go. The thing you don't want to forget to do though is to
oil the felt seals if you have felt seals. Definitely do that.
