Joe;

I've noticed that too, it looks like they want the whole volume filled with grease and no airspace (maybe for better thermal conduction/cooling???), but I've never done that either...in my experience, as long as the bearing is well lubed, the grease in the cup is extra and just along for the ride...

Thankfully, 122 wheel bearings are waaaayyyyyy understressed...I saw the wheel bearings which came out of Irv Gordon's 1800 at 1 megamile....they looked little different than new...I would have cleaned and reused them! ....now the cam...that's another story...

Cheers
